The team behind the London Action Festival is set to debut The Action Station, a series of live events spotlighting the best in film, TV, and visual storytelling. The inaugural event, to be held in New York City, will commemorate 30 years of 'The X-Files.' The event will feature a screening of the new documentary 'X Fan Retrospective,' created by filmmakers Lauren Krattiger and Carly Blake, alongside 'The X-Files' creator Chris Carter. This comprehensive documentary includes over 100 interviews with cast, crew, and fans, offering a deep dive into the show's impact on popular culture.
Joining the lineup is actor and comedian Joel McHale, known for his role in the show's 2016 revival. McHale, a devoted fan himself, will contribute to the discussion on the enduring legacy of 'The X-Files' and its significance in today's conspiracy-driven society.
Chris Carter expressed his amazement at the show's continued relevance, stating, 'It's mind-bending to think we did something 30 years ago that's as relevant today in our conspiracy-obsessed culture as it was when the show first took off in 1993.' McHale echoed Carter's sentiments, calling 'The X-Files' one of the greatest shows ever made and expressing his excitement to be part of the NYC celebration.
The London Action Festival organizers, Julian Alcantara and Ron Fogelman, are thrilled to expand their successful event series with The Action Station. Alcantara highlighted the positive reception from audiences and industry professionals, emphasizing the blend of entertainment and information that sets their events apart.
Fogelman added, 'Launching The Action Station with an event in NYC honoring a cultural phenomenon like 'The X-Files,' featuring the remarkable 'X Fan Retrospective' documentary and the participation of Chris Carter, marks a truly special beginning for us.'
The Action Station's 'The X-Files' event is scheduled for May 3 at the SVA Theatre in New York City, promising an unforgettable night celebrating the beloved series and its dedicated fanbase.
