Throughout April, NHSO’s Sci-Fi Month in New Haven brings sci-fi into everyday spaces across the city through a series of connected events. Local small businesses, many of which are self-identified “third spaces,” will host film screenings; sell themed books, records, outfits, and games; and offer concert ticket discounts:
- Best Video Film & Cultural Center (1842 Whitney Ave. Hamden, CT)
- Elm City Games (71 Orange St. New Haven, CT)
- Goodwill of Southern New England (61 Amity Rd. New Haven, CT)
- Grails Record Store (1020 Chapel St., Lower Level New Haven, CT)
- Possible Futures Community Bookspace (318 Edgewood Ave. New Haven, CT)
These events will offer a chance to connect with music, film, and literature while capturing the sense of wonder and curiosity that make the world of sci-fi so compelling.
