Die. Learn. Repeat. Until you question everything you came here to do.
To join the elite ATIC Guard, Alana Toro must pass one final test: enter a simulation, prevent a terrorist attack, and prove her loyalty. Every mistake resets the clock. Every death disappears — except in her memory, where the weight keeps building. The more Alana learns, the more she begins to question the organisation she fought so hard to join. The enemies she’s been sent to stop start to look less like threats. The system that’s testing her starts to feel less like a tool and more like a trap.
Starring Zoe Cunningham, James Cosmo (Game of Thrones), Mim Shaikh, and Neil Bishop, Voidance is a taut, intelligent British sci-fi thriller about the cost of obedience — and what happens when the system resets, but you don’t.

![THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT | SCI-FI-LONDON 2020
20TH BIRTHDAY FREE SCREENING
The very first SCI-FI-LONDON opened at the Curzon Soho and our first film was a debut film by the director, Cory McAbee.
Fresh from Sundance, where it won the Sloan Award, and the Toronto film festival, The American Astronaut is still one of our all-time favourite films. It seemed fitting to celebrate our 20th birthday with our first film and we are delighted to be joined by Cory for a Q&A.
A simple synopsis would read “Samuel Curtis, an interplanetary trader, sets forth through a rustic and remote solar system, unaware that his old friend Professor Hess is trying to kill him” but this doesn’t even hint at the joy this film brings.
From the trailer and photos, one might imagine it to be a parody of old black and white SF movies, it’s not! Sure, it’s a black and white space film with songs, but it is one of the more original and entertaining films we have ever seen.
Like absinthe, the Velvet Underground, or Marmite, this film is for the more discerning palette. Enjoy it, relish it and try to get the songs out of your head… trust us, you never will.
