About this event

 

 

 

 

 

The screening will be preceded by the Young Journalist Competition and Audience Awards and followed by a Q&A session with producer Simon Wheeler and actor Karl Davies, with Eddie Izzard joining by Skype. This will be followed by a drinks reception where attendees will have the opportunity to speak to the producer and actor.

Castles in the Sky is directed by Gillies MacKinnon and stars Eddie Izzard, David Hayman, Alex Jennings and Karl Davies.

Synopsis: Set in the mid-1930s, this film charts the work of Robert Watson Watt and his hand-picked team of meteorologists as they struggle to turn the concept of Radar into a workable reality. Hamstrung by a tiny budget, seemingly insurmountable technical problems and even a spy in the camp, Watson Watt also has to deal with marital problems as he chases his dream. They develop the world's first Radar system along the south east coast of England that, in 1940, proved pivotal in winning the Battle of Britain.
