At exactly 2pm this Sunday, October 1st, every phone box in Hull will ring. Anyone who picks up a phone will be dropped into the science fiction world of 2097 – with the chance to be taken on a free ride into the future in a Tesla Model S electric car.

Come along to North Point Shopping Centre this Sunday, October 1st, anytime between 1pm and 6pm to watch all five of the 2097 sci-fi films, shot in Hull and Denmark, exclusively before anyone else.

This piece of sci-fi across an entire city, is the culmination of 2097: We Made Ourselves Over. In spans two cities; Hull, the current UK City of Culture and Aarhus in Denmark, the current European Capital of Culture.

Every Saturday and Sunday in October, Hull will host pop-up screenings in neighbourhoods all across the city for five astonishing science fiction films shot on location in Hull and Aarhus. Go to the 2097 website to find out the screening locations and times.
