If it’s Sunday, this must be Metropolis
at Clapham PictureHouse, 76 Venn Street London SW4. I’ll be talking with Simon Frantz after the screening, and with any luck making the case for a film that H G Wells said “gives in one eddying concentration almost every possible foolishness, cliché, platitude, and muddlement about mechanical progress and progress in general served up with a sauce of sentimentality that is all its own.”

Listen! I’ll be celebrating the work of visionary Polish writer Stanislaw Lem on Thursday 18 August, 7–8pm on the radio show Atomic Bark , Resonance 104.4FM (www.resonancefm.com), repeated on Tuesday 23 August, 1pm, with podcasts to follow.
Kosmos Day
Saturday July 16 is Kosmos Day at BFI, London Southbank, “a day of documentary, art and discussion inspired by the pioneering Russian cosmonauts.”
The programme’s still to be finalised but I’ll be hosting the morning session – among other things chatting with novelist James Flint and filmmaker Simon Pummell. In the afternoon we welcome Sergei Krikalev – the cosmonaut who found himself stuck in orbit during the collapse of the Soviet Union. I’ll post up times etc. when I know them; meanwhile the homepage is here.
