Beam Me Up, Scotty! (1995 sci-fi fandom documentary filmed in Glasgow)

[Mobbd]

This is pretty amazing. Posted at Ganymede and Titan a couple of days ago.

Craig Charles (very annoying to begin with but he calms down a bit) talks to fans and sci-fi writers at the 53rd World Science Fiction Convention in Glasgow.

There are some sweet little interviews with Grant Morrison, Frank Quietly, Ian M Banks, Terry Pratchett, et al, all looking young and peppy and horny and hopeless. There's also a lovely Scotch Borg and some very funny Klingon stuff.

It's honestly great, like a home movie filmed with a bit of Channel 4 money. A completely adorable reminder of earnest weirdo culture in 1995 (plus some brilliantly cringey sci-fi folk music and readings from a book called Alien Sex.) Would recommend.
