Join the "Resistance" at EagleCon 2025 as we explore and celebrate Latina/o futurism, Afrofuturism, and speculative visions of fighting for a better world! This year’s honorees include filmmaker Alex Rivera (Sleep Dealer, The Infiltrators), legendary Star Trek art director Herman Zimmerman, and the nonprofit Organization of Transformative Works. The event will include hands-on workshops, panels of industry professionals, and student presentations about how to create your own creative works of resistance, as well as how to find careers in the entertainment industry. Free to the public.
The convention will also include an Art Directors Guild exhibition titled The Art of Resistance in Film and Television, highlighting this year’s Imaginator Award winner Zimmerman and previous Imaginator Award winners, such as Harrison Ellenshaw, Rick Carter, Dawn Brown, and Wynn Thomas. On display on the second-floor bridge of the University Library from Sept. 5 to Oct. 30, the exhibit will include production art from the Star Trek universe, the Star Wars universe, and many other popular films and television shows.
