As Wednesday’s The Amaz-ing Spider-Man premiere app-roaches, Science is Culture and Euro Media Forum is holding a ‘Spider-Man: Science Fiction vs Science Fact’ event at the Eden Cinemas at 8 p.m. before the screening of the film.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Stan Lee’s and Steve Ditko’s comic book creation

The event is being held in collaboration with Eden Cinemas to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stan Lee’s and Steve Ditko’s comic book creation. There will also be several stands related to Spider-Man’s place in popular culture and gadgetry.

The short presentation pre-ceding the movie premiere will explore how Spider-Man’s stories have both empowerment messages for their fans and an element of scientific truth which can inspire children to take up science as a future career.

During the event, members of Science is Culture and Euro Media Forum will discuss how characters like Spider-Man can stimulate learning through their strong messages such as DNA modification and its relevance to Spider-Man/Peter Parker’s super ability to climb walls.

Euro Media Forum and Science is Culture will be launching its science fiction and comic book reference desk on the night. They will also have their own stands from which they will sell comic books as well as inform people on future events.

Members of the audience do not need to be dressed up in a particular super hero costume although Marvel superhero costumes are highly encouraged.
