Time Travel is Dangerous!
2024, Director: Chris Reading
99 mins., Unrated
An award winner for Best Design at the 2025 Boston SciFi Film Festival, this delightfully British mockumentary follows Ruth (Ruth Syratt) and Megan (Megan Stevenson), best friends who run a thrift shop in a London suburb. After discovering a discarded time machine in an alley, they eagerly make use of it to fill their shop with antique treasures. But the trips take a toll on both the friends and the space-time continuum. Stephen Fry adds narration to this comedy and British star Jane Horrocks makes a memorable cameo.
