On Line: Reality Check: Life during Wartime

Also, Tripwire Magazine editor Joel Meadows presents and takes part in a brief press conference with actor Michael Hogan about playing the long suffering character Colonel Tigh in the 21st century reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, which is about to return to our screens shortly for the second half of its final season.Online from 3rd December: www.sci-fi-london.com/audio
In the cinema: Hectic Peelers: Memories of Matsuko
For the latest Electric Sheep / Resonance FM film club they will be screening Memories of Matsuko, this week's Time Out magazine cinema critic's choice of the week, an exuberant bubblegum Japanese melodrama with a dark edge, which pieces together the tragi-comic tale of an eccentric woman who went looking for love in all the wrong places. Saturated colour, moody lighting and musical interludes make the film a pure joy to watch, and it is no surprise that it received the audience award at the Tiger Festival in June 08. Adam Torel, head of Third Window Films, the distributors of the film in the UK, will be in attendance to introduce the film and do a Q & A with Electric Sheep magazine editor Virginie Selavy afterwards.
Tuesday 2nd Decmber: Roxy Bar and Screen, 128-132 Borough High Street, London SE1 1LB 7:30pm, Free! (This month's Hectic Peelers is a week early due to Christmas bookings at the Roxy)
