The Film Archive Trav­el­ing Film Show is back in Welling­ton this week with a bril­liant selec­tion of space films sourced from their exten­sive col­lec­tion.

This should be a doosey (doozey? have just realised I don’t know how to spell that) with ear­ly fan­ta­sy films from the late 1890s by French film mak­er and magi­cian George Méliès. Plus footage from 1965 of Russ­ian astro­naut Alex­ei Leonov con­duct­ing the world’s first space­walk!
