BILL BIRNES
AT LOEWS LANDMARK
3-Day Culture of Contact Festival to Feature Top UFO Investigators, Films, More
New York, NY, September 26—Jersey City's historic Loews Landmark Theatre becomes the east coast's UFO epicenter with the second annual Culture of Contact Festival October 16, 17, 18. William J Birnes, star of the History Channel hit series UFO Hunters, will be on hand to greet fans and share his experiences with the otherworldly world of UFOs. The festival will feature lectures by other top investigators and an interstellar lineup of classic and cutting edge science fiction films and documentaries.
Groundbreaking Event Expands to Loews Landmark
Expanding on the success of last year's debut, Culture of Contact has outgrown its East Village origins to occupy the majestic Loews Landmark Theater in Jersey City. The Festival gives the public a chance to sample the many ways UFOs have impacted modern culture. The Festival is conceived and curated not only by educators, investigators and scholars, but by individuals whose interest in the phenomenon is as up close and personal as it gets: actual UFO witnesses and alien abductees.
This year's Culture of Contact Festival will feature:
- Personal appearance by William J. Birnes, star of the History Channel's hit series, UFO Hunters
- Special screening of classic "War of the Worlds" on 70th anniversary of Orson Welles' infamous radio broadcast, introduced by William J Birnes
- New UFO movies and documentaries
- Lectures and panel discussions by renowned scientists, investigators, witnesses, authors and abductees
- Musical performance by Ghosthorse and special discussion panelist Tiokasin Ghosthorse
- UFO Museum
- Interactive, cutting edge "Brain Tech" inventions and musical innovations
Joining Birnes will be such bestselling authors and investigators as Budd Hopkins, Richard Dolan, Farah Yurdozu, Jeremy Vaeni, Steve Bassett, Peter Robbins, David Biedny, and more.
History Channel Tie-In Ups the UFO Ante
"Last year Bill Birnes gave a lively talk about the Roswell case that really knocked out our audience," says festival organizer and participant Jeremy Vaeni. "In the meantime his series UFO Hunters has become a huge hit on the History Channel and he'll be participating all three days of the festival this year." UFO festivals are popular around the country, says Vaeni, but Culture of Contact is the only comprehensive event in the New York area. "The fact that we've grown into Loews Landmark demonstrates how interest in UFOs is burgeoning. We're glad to be at the forefront of expanding awareness in the New York area. This isn't going to be a dry, boring conference. This is going to be fun and, dare I say in the same sentence as 'fun,' historic."
