You are cordially invited to experience (or re-experience) this Sun Ra sci fi classic, one of the most elusive cult music films of all time. Our hero travels through the cosmos in his music fuelled spaceship, offering a new way of life for the black people of Oakland on a planet where the 'vibrations are different'. A wonderfully strange filmic adventure, one we should all get on board for for this late night screening!

This simply titled 1992 documentary is a wonderful window into a specific time in the history of black science fiction in literature, film and television, featuring interviews with key figures from across these artforms including Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from Star Trek) and authors Octavia Spencer, Samuel R.

A bold and brilliant fusion of sci fi and feminist politics, a comic fantasy of female rebellion which sees a huge army of women in New York join together to take down The System. Even thirty years on, there's still nothing like it!

Will Smith, summer blockbuster king and the consummate smart talking good guy, was the world's most famous Sci-Fi hero in the new millennium.

Followed by an illustrated talk on black superheroes.

To help celebrate the 100th anniversary of experimental jazz great Sun Ra we present this rare documentary (named as one of the 50 greatest music films ever by Time Out), a stunning look at this one of a kind Pharoah musician from Saturn.
