Space Is The Place18

Directed by John Coney | USA | 1974 | 1h 22m | Starring Sun Ra, Raymond Johnso, Christopher Brooks, Barbara Deloney, Erika Leder

Visionary jazz musician Sun Ra brings his radical Afrofuturist philosophy to life in this genre-defying film. Part science fiction, part concert film, part social commentary, it follows Sun Ra and his Arkestra as they embark on an intergalactic mission to create a new utopia. Bold, eccentric, and visually explosive, it’s a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience that fuses music, politics, and cosmic imagination.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
