A tradition that attracts people from across the country and around the world, the CWRU Film Society Science Fiction Marathon is the longest-running 24-hour movie event. Each year, the society hosts a weekend of continuous films and trailers spanning the futuristic and high-tech.
Launched in 1976 by Case Western Reserve student Charles Knox (CIT ’74, astronomy; GRS ’78, physics), the first marathon garnered 1,100 attendees who watched 16 films in 28 hours.
