Vor einigen Jahren hatte ich hier schonmal ein Video von einer Star-Trek-Convention. Damals zeigte der Clip das Trekkie-Treffen aus dem Jahr 1973 und damit vermutlich die zweite Convention überhaupt. Hier aber nun ein Clip der drei Jahre später, 1976, entstand.
“Only 7 years after the series ended, Star Trek already had a very strong cult following in the US and even abroad. There were small fan clubs popping up all over the world, so after a while it had such momentum that someone began organizing these gatherings into conventions…
At homes, schools, malls, they eventually had to rent large convention halls to accommodate the throngs of devoted ‘trekkies’.This one had Leonard Nimoy (Spock) and James Doohan (Scotty), so I had to bring my super 8 movie camera to the Mall to film it.”
