Night Visions presents: Cosmic sounds and delicious retro sci-fi
Venue: WHS Teatteri Union (street address: Siltavuorenranta 18, 00170 Helsinki)
Witness the recording of Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation in All Gates Open (In Search of Absolute Elsewhere), now seen on the big screen for the first time ever in Finland. The documentary takes you behind the scenes of the band’s time in Berlin while recording their latest album at the legendary Hansa Studios, tracing the group’s evolution from atmospheric death metal pioneers into more expansive, cosmic territory.
The fascinating and bizarre film Starship Invasion combines both Star Wars and Close Encounters in one, resulting in a very entertaining outcome starring Sir Christopher Lee. The plot seems to also pack as much Age of Aquarius and UFO mysticism in as possible. Screening from rare 35 mm film copy!
