Fantasy is a lens to explore what we as a society find important to our pasts, our presents, and future. Fantasy and science fiction often fall under the umbrella of “speculative fiction” - as a result they are often grouped together, especially in bookstores. But science fiction is a forward-looking genre propelled by the possibilities of technology (and the things that worry us about it), fantasy is … more backward looking. Written by Lindsay Ellis, Angelina Meehan and Antonella Inserra Directed & animated by Andrew Matthews Produced by Amanda Fox Executive in Charge (PBS): Adam Dylewski Music and Sound Design: Eric Friend Hand Model: Katie Graham Imaged by Shutterstock\n
