“‘WALL•E’ proves to this generation and beyond that the film medium’s only true boundaries are the human imagination”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 18:50
We’re over the moon (pun intended) to be returning to the Planetarium at We The Curious in 2024 after two years away. A fire closed this beloved venue’s doors, but now that’s it back, we’ve got a stellar series of space and sci-fi screenings lined up!
Explore the Planetarium’s Space exhibition before the screening and see if you’re cut out for a life in space, then recline in this unique screening space. As the lights dim, your journey will begin with a tour of the Solar System in a Planetarium star show - the perfect way to set the scene for your film…
We’re relaunching our Planetarium screenings with a long weekend leading into the August Bank Holiday, starting with the perennial Festival favourite WALL•E. This delightful sci-fi misadventure is both an epic voyage into humanity’s future, and a nod to silent comedy cinema, which will delight the entire family.
PLEASE NOTE: tickets for our Planetarium screenings are on advance sale as they are a Festival event. Tickets for We The Curious itself will be on sale at a later date.
