MOVIES: Enjoy a watery sci-fi binge

The Floating Cinema is back in N1C after a summer of gigs up and down the Kennet & Avon Canal. The theme is an immersive space odyssey, including open-air screenings of sci-fi cult classics, a summer space school and a series of talks by assorted enthusiasts on board the barge. Highlights include Fritz Lang’s classic Metropolis and a fancy dress screening of the 80s version of Flash Gordon (with prizes for the best clobber). 17th – 20th Sept, Granary Square. Free, but booking here essential
