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!
