Learn interesting stuff at a cinema

I’ve been lucky enough to get involved in the Saurian Saturday project, which is taking place at Hackney Picturehouse at the end of June.

Palaeontologist Dr David Hone (who is a very nice man, and has a wonderful blog) will take you through the history of Dino-discoveries using clips of films (both true classics and best-forgotten B-movies.) We’ll be looking at everything from Willis O’brien’s take on the animals of KING KONG, via Harryhausen, the rubber suits of GODZILLA, the advent of CGI in JURASSIC PARK, and much much more. Each tells a story of science and public perception of Dinosaurs over more than a century.

There is a screening of the original KING KONG included (Or, you can book just for the film). Following the end of the day-course, there is also a screening of JURASSIC PARK. This is only £5 for attendees. (Or can be booked separately.)
