In support of designer Neal Potter’s talk and Q&A at the museum on Saturday 6th June (see EVENTS), Kent MOMI will screen his favourite film, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER on June 5th. The screening also has a personal note as our curator, Joss’ father, Terence Marsh was the film’s production designer, responsible for the film's acclaimed, realistic submarine interior sets, working alongside art director William Cruse and set designer Mickey S. Michaels, for which he was nominated a BAFTA. Starring Sean Connery & Alec Baldwin, the film was nominated for a total of three BAFTAS and three Oscars, winning the latter for Best Effects.

Doors open 5.30, for drinks, nibbles & classic cocktails.

Film starts 6.30 with a brief introduction from the curators.
