Back to Space-Con is a fascinating dive into the humble beginnings of the Star Trek convention scene, really capturing that grassroots feel. Directed by Tom Wyrsch, the film takes us back to 1975 when the first major gathering of Trek fans unfolded at Lincoln High School in San Francisco. The energy of the fans is palpable, and you can almost feel the excitement in the air. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for plenty of personal anecdotes and charming interviews that give a true sense of community. The practical effects are minimal, but they fit the DIY spirit of the time. It’s all about the passion of the fans, and you can see how this small event laid the groundwork for the massive conventions that would follow.
