SCI-FI-LONDON 9 : 2033 - UK PREMIERE & DIRECTOR QA May 1, 2010

SCI-FI-LONDON is the UK’s leading genre event and an internationally recognised launch pad for genre movies. At each festival we have at least a dozen UK premieres.

The festival is now in its 9th year and will take place Wed 28th April – Mon 3rd May 2010 at The Apollo Piccadilly Circus Cinema, London’s most luxurious cinema.

2033

In the future, the very lifeblood of old Mexico - religion and freedom of expression - are outlawed. In their place is a society ruled by a totalitarian military government that controls its people through an enhanced synthetic food. Pablo, the future equivalent of a yuppie, who enjoys designer drugs and hunting poor people, is being groomed to be the next leader. When the charismatic head of a religious cult tells him his father is still alive but enslaved by the government, Pablo joins their rebellion to rescue him and bring down the industrial-military regime.

This brilliantly realised film shows that Cuaron and del Toro are not the only Mexicans capable of making quality movies, and that Mexico is a force to be reckoned with in the world of science fiction.

We are delighted that the director Francisco Laresgoiti will be with us for the movie screening and for a Q&A after the movie
