5…4…3…2…1 lift off! After years of painstaking research, the Commonwealth Film Festival has finally achieved one of society’s most unreachable goals and managed to put a film programmer into space. This programme features recollections from a melee of utopia, dystopia and futuristic burn-outs. From journeys into the dishevelled heart of modern society to post-apocalyptic neurosis we travel through cinematic space.
