Hi everyone,



I am currently doing some research on French television adaptations of Verne


that were distributed by the ORTF during the sixties and seventies. Whereas


I found quite a lot of information on the films themselves and read that


there was a sort of 'golden age' of science fiction and the fantastic on


French television screens from 1962 to 1974, I wondered if anyone has any


information or ideas as to why this 'boom' in science fiction occurred when


it did (especially since science fiction literature and film has always been


a marginal genre in France) and whether it was a reaction to the big-budget


Hollywood adaptations of the fifties. I am grateful for any information and


thoughts on the subject.



Thanks,



Françoise Schiltz
