SCI-FI-LONDON 9 : Earthling - UK PREMIERE May 2, 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.

Earthling
After an unexplained atmospheric event aboard an international space station that leaves all but one of the crew dead, a small group of people on Earth discover that they aren’t who they thought they were.

The group find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other, believing they have been suffering from a type of epilepsy, until the appearance of two small lumps on their foreheads. As the reality of their situation dawns on them, they have to decide whether to remain living amongst men or try to find a way back home.

This US indie questions one’s sanity, humanity and the urge to survive, while retaining an air of mystery and compassion. A sometimes haunting visual style that is comparable with The Man Who Fell to Earth.
