50 years of X-Men 29th May – Free Entrance

Euro Media Forum and Eden Cinemas present 50 years of X-Men: Timeless tales of Mutants overcoming prejudice on Thursday 29th May at 6.00 p.m. at Europe House – 254, St Paul Street, Valletta. This event coincides with the release of X-Men Days of Future Past screening at Eden Cinemas.

Created in 1963 by the dream team of writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, they are more than simply humans… they possess something extra… they are the X-Men. From the 1960s and their late 1970s re-emergence, their platform for socially and politically relevant storytelling up to the present, has helped establish the X-Men as one of the globe’s most exciting franchises. Comic Book researcher David Pace and Film researcher Justin Camilleri will delve into how the X-Men are among the most popular Super Hero characters of our time.

They will also give an insight into how the various mutant character relationships that appeared in comic book series from 1963 to the present, have all woven together over the decades to create classic storylines that bring to the fore the dazzlingly complex and fascinating world of mutants. The speakers will also trace how the characters have been adapted into the media of television, including the ground-breaking 1992 animated series and the blockbuster feature films. The X-Men night is an event that no fan of Marvel Comics, of animation and action adventure film-making, even of popular culture, will want to miss. To spice up the evening there will also be a X-Men quiz, with the opportunity to win great prizes. So quiz participants keep your eyes open for the X-clues! The event is also being supported by Eden Cinemas; Science is Culture, Malta Film Network and the Good Causes Fund. Entrance is Free however limited seating is available.
