Featured attraction: Matt Turner & Ben Nicholson present the UK premiere of Blake Williams’ visually dazzling experimental 3D feature PROTOTYPE at Genesis Cinema (19 JUN 19:00): “Because it’s 3D, there is genuinely no other way to watch this film. You can’t torrent it, there is no vimeo link floating about. It might not screen again here. You have to turn up.” Ben Nicholson.
