Sci-Fi London Zaps Phone Zombies
Sci-fi London are preparing for a 10 day scifi extravaganza filled with films, live music, immersive experiences and a few ‘shocks’ to celebrates its 17th year. With 6 world film premieres, 13 UK film premieres, 11 world short premieres and 13 UK short premieres the future looks bright!
Designed to be a festival that “takes a serious look at sci-fi and fantasy, bringing new, classic and rare movies from around the world to the UK” this years screenings are a real treat, including two of my top picks from last year, The Girl with All the Gifts and Ex Machina.
Sci-Fi London took to the streets to promote this years show, with a fun nod to one of the scourges of the modern day commute, the Phone Zombie! Those blasted “twitchy fingered” ghouls are in for a bit of a surprise when one man comes up with a clever solution. Yours truly contributed with a little air time to bring the mischievous creator of the Phone Zapper to life.
The 2017 show is based mainly at the Stratford picture house but stretches to other venues such as the BFI, and the Science Museum’s IMAX cinema (Where they will playing a double bill of Ex-Machina and A.I.). There will also be live music from Krautwerk and the worlds hardest Sci-Fi pub quiz this side of Centauri Prime.
Opening this year’s festival on the 27th April is the UK Premiere of CAUGHT– a film that is loving tribute to the golden days of British science-fiction.
Across London, with 10 days of amazing film, live music, immersive experiences and more. We showcase a fantastic programme filled with World, European and UK Film Premieres alongside our regular classic events such as the 48 HOUR FILM CHALLENGE and SCI-FIDO, the world’s only cosplay for dogs!
Cosplay for dogs? Just take my money all ready!!!
