Sky Movies is to sponsor this year’s Sci-Fi-London film festival, to celebrate its move to genre based channels.
In its sixth year, the event is the UK's only film festival dedicated to the genre. The festival will be officially opened by filmmaker John Landis, and includes films, events, visiting speakers and this year, the first international cult film conference.
Sky Movies Sci-Fi and Horror will be hosting the world premiere of the UK comedy Captain Eager starring Green Wing's Tamsin Greig and Mark Heap.
Ian Lewis, the new director of Sky Movies and Box Office, said: "Many of our customers love sci-fi and were the driving force behind the creation of Sky Movies Sci-Fi & Horror – a whole channel dedicated to the genre. We are extremely excited about what the channel has to offer and there is no better place to showcase this than at Sci-Fi-London. This year’s festival is shaping up to be the best yet."
The channel will also be showcasing titles which are to appear on the new movie channel and other sci-fi shows on Sky One.
Louis Savy, festival director said: "I am delighted to be working with Sky Movies, like Sci-Fi-London they are a leading force in bringing challenging film to the UK. It is important that festival aligns itself with a broadcaster who really understands the genre, SKY have proved again and again they know their stuff."
