Back to Space-Con 2011 streaming

On February 22, 1975, Northern California's very first Star Trek convention was held at Lincoln High School in San Francisco, CA. It was called The Red Hour Festival. A huge success with the fans of the original TV series (1966-69), the smash event led to much larger conventions in San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles. These Space-Con conventions left an indelible mark on the science-fiction fans and Trekkers who attended. In the end, conventions like Space-Con helped awaken Paramount from hibernation and led to the creation of the first installment of the major motion picture series Star Trek in 1979. This full-length documentary film is the story of how fandom revolutionized an industry.
