In the second half of the concert the Tenerife Film Orchestra & Choir will perform “End Title” from “Star Trek: First Contact”; “Main Title” from “Capricorn One” and “The Illustrated Man”; “The Clothes Snatchers” y “The Hunt”, from “Palnet of the Apes”; “The Mission”, written for “The Sum of all Fears”; “The Swarm” “End Title”; the famous “Carol Anne´s Theme”, from “Poltergeist”; and two impressive suites from “Gremlins” and “The Omen”.
Agenda:
The parallel activities of the festival, that have been taking place during the week in TEA, will also face their home stretch, with the screening, at 20.30 and 22.15, of the films “Forbidden Planet” and “Aliens vs Predator: Requiem”. On Sunday at 17.00, as climax, there will be a film marathon with the whole Alien saga.
