The Curious People Documentary Trailer is Here!
And other news one might expect to find in a newsletter. Which this is.
How goes it? Are we all looking forward to July 5 when maybe, just maybe, the light at the end of the tunnel might not be a fast moving train…
This week we revealed the poster for our next feature length documentary film, Curious People: The Incomplete History of Nine Lessons and Compendium.
‘Curious People' is the new feature length documentary from The Cosmic Shambles Network that charts the history of the pioneering and legendary science variety nights created by comedian Robin Ince, Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless / Curious People and Robin and Brian's Christmas Compendium of Reason. How did one persons 'stupid idea' end up changing to shape of science communication and entertainment forever, moving science from the classroom to arenas?
Features exclusive interviews and never before seen archive and behind the scenes footage with Robin Ince, Natalie Haynes, Josie Long, Brian Cox, Chris Hadfield, Tim Minchin, Chris Jackson, Ben Goldacre, Clara Nellist, Joanna Neary, Grace Petrie, Jen Gupta, Stewart Lee, Chris Hadfield, Bobby Seagull and loads more. Directed by Trent Burton.
