SCI-FI-LONDON newsletter

It’s hard to believe it’s nearly Christmas. It seems like just the other day we were enjoying Oktoberfest, and a special preview screening of Another Earth, Mike Cahill’s indie film about a duplicate world, which opened in cinemas on Friday, For all of you who couldn’t make it we interviewed the director for the second episode of The Pulse, our new web TV show.

Only 3 days to go until we land in Camden Town!

Going, going, gone...

First off, if you wanted to come to our Cabaret night at the Camden Head, it has sold out! Seems like we put together a stellar line-up, so watch out for us doing this again!

Secondly, if you want to see Angels & Airwaves, LOVE - there are only 15 tickets left, so book ASAP!

And so it arrives, the line-up for SCI-FI-LONDON’s Oktoberfest. This year, for the first time, we have moved out of the West End to the Odeon Camden Town, where all our screenings will be held. The area is a fitting venue for the line-up and we have some other fun stuff planned, including teaming up with the great people at the Cyber Market. We will present two days of events there; all free and all fab, of course!

It's been a while since we sent out a newsletter. We don't like our inbox clogged up with useless information, so we are sure you don't either. We will only mail you when we have something worthwhile to tell you.

However, you can expect a few messages over the coming weeks because we have lots to shout about.
