The BFI's special weekend celebration of the past, present and future of film kicks off in style on Friday with an eye-popping evening of electronic music and live visuals that will hint at the future possibilities of cinema.

The Weekender also features all-night screenings of time- travel classics at the IMAX; free screenings of Mitchell & Kenyon's glorious early cinema experiments with live scores; pop-up talks on the future on cinema by some well-known guests around the venue; the return of the White Coffin Club nostalgia night; photos to take home in association with HP Printers; and activities for families and younger audiences.
