"Join us for an evening exploring early British silent sci-fi, from 1897 up to WWI. We screen the premieres of the latest BFI National Archive restorations: the Jules Verne-inspired fantasy Pirates of 1920 (1911), and British cinema’s first feature length sci-fi A Message from Mars (1913), restored as close as possible to its original length and complete with a suitably festive sci-fi Scrooge. Expect flying cars, futuristic airships, automatons and voyages to distant planets."

Always interested in silents with a fantastic theme (and, yes, others too)
