Film description
Thomas Newton may look like a human, but something is not quite right - he is definitely not in his natural habitat. Sent to earth from his dessicating planet he must look for water and starts a high-tech company to finance his space journey back home.
BUT is proud to present the visually stunning classic film that formed the inspiration for this year's main theme about Alienation. David Bowie's two-coloured eyes, his dead pale snakelike body make him the best cast alien ever.
Both the protagonist and director recently left us - this screening is our way of paying tribute.
