The Motion Plymouth festival steps up a gear today, with another fist fulla fab film-type thingies.

First up, you can check out the wealth of moving imagery held in the Plymouth-based South West Film and Television Archive at a special shindig in The Lounge, above The Treasury, Royal Parade at 2pm, 3pm and 4pm.

Elayne Hoskin delivers insights on this rich resource while screening Plymouth gems from yesteryear.

There will also be a selection of digital stories from Estover Community College’s On The Move project, including tales about how the filmmakers came to be in Plymouth, which journeys changed their lives, or their relationships in families.

Feel free to turn up unannounced for the shows. The Lounge is fully accessible with a lift.

Meanwhile, enjoy an exclusive sneak preview of the newly-refurbished Immersive Vision Theatre known as The Dome, behind the University of Plymouth’s Portland Square Building, from 6pm-7pm.

Relax as boffins from the Institute of Digital Art and Technology whisk you to the edge of the known universe. And back. In under an hour. Crikey.

There’s only 40 places available and reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis, so you’re probably waaay outta luck, chum.

And finally, look out for the launch of Noogy 2.0, at the Portland Square Building, University of Plymouth, at 7pm.

Call Noogy on 07511 253710 and watch as the sounds you make into your mobile turn into an electric vision powered by 9,600 LEDs. Standard phone rates apply, yada yada.

We’ll be telling you more about Noogy 2.0 a bit later on, so don’t touch that dial.
