Saturday 24 April, Notting Hill Arts Club<\/A>, 4-8pm <\/B>: The Last Battle<\/I> + live rescore by TIME<\/B> <\/p>\n

Electric Sheep Magazine hosts a Rough Trade Shops’ RoTa afternoon of film, music and discussion in the underbelly of Notting Hill. <\/p>\n

\t Main feature: Luc Besson’s fantastic sci-fi movie The Last Battle! <\/p>\n

Presented with a new live soundtrack by TIME!<\/p>\n

+ Apocalyptic garage punk from Speak and the Spells!<\/p>\n

+ Apocalyptic shorts!<\/p>\n

+ Resonance FM DJ Robin Warren spins soundtrack tunes!
<\/B><\/p>\n

\t We are very excited to present an apocalyptic afternoon in collaboration with Sci-Fi London<\/A>. We will be showing Luc Besson’s stunning first feature The Last Battle<\/I>, about one man trying to survive in a devastated future world. Starring Jean Reno, it has all of Besson’s stylistic flair but is unlike anything else he has made since. Surreal, blackly funny and visually striking, it is a fascinating addition to the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre. <\/p>\n

Sci-Fi London<\/A> runs from April 28 to May 3 at the Apollo Piccadilly Circus Cinema, London.<\/div>\n

\tThe Last Battle<\/I> will be shown with a live soundtrack by innovative string and synths duo TIME<\/A>. Frances Morgan (former editor of Plan B<\/I> Magazine) and Mark Dicker weave a web of sound where warm harmonies slowly mutate into saturated riffs while haunting vocals add a dimension of storytelling. <\/p>\n

\t+ Speak and the Spells<\/A> play a fast and furious set of garage instrumentals to bring about the end of the world.<\/B><\/p>\n

\t\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

+ Apocalyptic short films:<\/B><\/p>\n

The Last Breath<\/I><\/B> (David Jackson, UK, 2009, 10 min): When the Kelvin family surfaces after scuba diving in a lake, they find that the air has become toxic. With their tanks running low they embark on a race against time to reach the nearby dive hut. Tight and tense, this is a fantastic 10-minute thrill ride! It was produced by VBM Productions<\/A>.<\/p>\n

Die Schneider Krankheit<\/I><\/B> (Javier Chill\u00ed\u00b3n, Spain, 2008, 10 min): This fantastic short presents itself as a newsreel recounting the rapid spread of a deadly virus after a spaceship containing a chimpanzee crashes in West Germany. The 50s newsreel style is perfectly reproduced, while the reasonable tone of the reporter is brilliantly contrasted with the outlandish events depicted. See more images on Die Schneider Krankheit<\/I> website<\/A>. <\/p>\n

Choreomania<\/I><\/B> (Louis Paxton, UK, 2009, 9 min): The zombie movie is given a comic and very British twist as a man on his way to work tries to escape the dancing plague that has turned everyone in town into twitchy ravers. Very funny!<\/p>\n

+ Resonance FM DJ Robin Warren
