[UK] Anderson rarities to be screened at Southend Film Festival

For the third year running, Fanderson is the proud sponsor of the Anderson On Film presentation as part of the Southend Film Festival, enabling fans to enjoy Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s work with other fans this summer… on film!

In this digital world it’s easy to watch programmes on your phone, to stream, or even to watch from DVD or Blu-ray Disc. This year’s Southend Film Festival gives Anderson fans a chance to have that collective experience of watching with fellow fans, thanks to the beauty that is celluloid film, not once but twice!

Fanderson member Mark Joseph loves to surprise attendees with rarities, and this year he’s secured a second slot to share some special films with fellow fans:

  • Wednesday 5th June at 19:00Thunderbirds Are Go from 35mm film, plus the Thunderbirds episode Trapped In The Sky scanned to show as much of the image as possible – revealing some aspects you were never meant to see!
  • Sunday 9th June 17:00Dick Spanner The Case Of The Human Cannonball and the unique The Missing Episode, featuring Shane Rimmer, plus special guest series creator Terry Adlam. This show also includes the ultra-rare Japanese home movie version of Thunderbirds Trapped In The Sky, plus Stingray Eastern Eclipse with 60th anniversary tribute!

The popular Southend Film Festival has been running for fifteen years in venues around Southend, Essex. The festival’s patrons are actors Ray Winstone, Vicki Michelle, Phil Davis and Tony Denham, and you can see all about it at www.southendfilmfestival.com.

Fanderson is delighted to be able to support fan-organised events such as this. If you need help or support with your Anderson event, please drop us a line at fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com.
