APOLLO 11

(U, 93 mins)

On July 20 1969, America took one giant leap for mankind when the Eagle lunar module touched down on the surface of the moon, carrying Commander neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin.

Broadcast live on TV to the world, the Apollo 11 mission allowed America to slingshot past the Soviet Union in the widely publicised space race and fulfil President John F Kennedy’s legacy.

To mark the 50th anniversar­y of this historic event, documentar­y filmmaker Todd Douglas Miller rifles through archive footage to relive the day when humanity blasted into the inky void of space and planted a flag in previously uncharted territory with a glorious view of the third rock from the sun.

An edited 45-minute version of the film screens in the IMAX big screen format at selected cinemas. IN FABRIC

(15, 119 mins)

BERKSHIRE-BORN writer-director Peter Strickland follows the stylised weirdness of Berberian Sound Studio and The Duke Of Burgundy with an off-kilter horror comedy about a desirable red dress that hungers for the blood of any woman that dares to wear it.

Catalogue model Jill (Sidse Babett Knudsen) meets a grisly fate after she slips on the blood red fabric and feels it glide against her skin.

The couture becomes an object of obsession for divorcee Sheila (Marianne Jean-baptiste), who spots the garment in a sale at her local department store.

She hopes the striking red dress will empower her to face her odious boss Clive (Steve Oram) and wipe the smug grin off the face of her son’s condescend­ing girlfriend, Gwen (Gwendoline Christie).

Sheila is completely unprepared for the transforma­tion that the frock will inspire or the carnage that will be left in her wake.
