What's On - February
It's a lean month for genre cinema releases this February, but luckily there's lots of classic film screenings too, including famous directors doing sci-fi (Fahrenheit 451, The Thing From Another World), and Russians doing silent sci-fi (Aelita: Queen Of Mars).
There's also Picocon, Anime Con, plus all the usual debates and talks with titles such as: Uncanny & Lovable: The Future Of Emotional Robots.
Enjoy!
