@KatyElphinstone Hi! Oh yes, Ralph's story appeared in the winter issue, so there's no direct link anymore, but you can still access it if you go to the "downloads" section of the site! (https://www.granfalloon.org/downloads) and click on the winter issue. Ralph's story is on page 64. Enjoy! :)

We're baaaack! The Spring 2022 issue of Granfalloon is now available at granfalloon.org! Pictured here is one of our valued contributors, Robert Pope, showing off his copy of the zine! Be sure to check out his highly entertaining sci-fi Western "Miss Kitty and the Creature with Many Legs" (https://bit.ly/3k8buRF) featured in the spring issue along with many other fantastic works of speculative fiction & poetry!

Wishing everyone a very happy new year and lots of success in 2022! 🎉 🥳 🥂

@human_dude Sorry, ran out of space, but I would put Stalker (1979) at the top of the list -- of all dystopian/sci-fi films -- if you haven't seen it, it's magnificent! And I think it meets your criteria; it is filmed in a realistic documentary style... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuOnfQd-aTw)

@human_dude
Would definitely second Chris Marker's "Le Jetée." The French film "Le Dernier Combat" may also qualify (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRWN_QtzBLk). Not sure if this qualifies, but there is an interesting Czech film form the '60s called "Cybernetic Grandma" which uses stop motion photography combined with old photographs and surreal scapes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5kdV0sQTqY). You may also find Lucas's first film THX 1138 interesting -- it's kind of filmed in a documentary style (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHgqfVQWv7s&t=11s)

Granfalloon zine got a mention on the wonderful "erotica for all" website! Check out the link below to read! And stay tuned, in 2022, Ralph and the team are planning a special issue with a focus on the erotic in sci-fi! If you have stories that might be a good fit, please submit them after Jan 1, 2022! (See granfalloon.org/submissions for more details on how to reach us).
