For the third in our summer series of documentary film nights, we're thrilled to be showing For All Mankind, Al Reinert's visually spectacular documentary about the Apollo programme. Drawing from over six million feet of film footage from NASA, much of it never before seen by the public, For All Mankind depicts the experiences of the Apollo astronauts who travelled to the Moon between 1968 and 1972. The documentary – a composite version of the six successful manned missions – is scored by Brian Eno and features the voices of the astronauts reflecting on their experiences.

The screening will take place at St. Augustine's Tower in Hackney at 19:15 on Thursday, 28th August, and the doors will be open from18:30. There will be a programme of short films followed by the main feature. Built in the 13th century, St. Augustine's Tower is the oldest building in Hackney and usually only open to the public once a month. 

Tickets cost £5 and are understandably limited given that the tower's architects didn't originally have film screenings in mind. Visit the event page to book your place.  

What: For All Mankind (1989, 80 minutes) and a programme of shorts.

When: Thursday 28th August at 19:15 (doors 18:30).

Where: St Augustine's Tower, Hackney, London.

For All Mankind is available on DVD now.
