Third Window Films have announced that they will distribute the feature-length-film Summer Time Machine Blues on Blu-Ray in the UK on 4th July 2022, with pre-orders expected to appear shortly at retailers such as Amazon UK and HMV.

Summer Time Machine Blues comes from Makoto Ueda & Europe-Kikaku, the creators of Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes, and is a time travel comedy from 2005 that is often seen as a cult favourite in Japan. The story revolves around a group of students who discover a walking time machine after their air conditioner unit breaks down in the club room.

About:To members of the university Sci-Fi Club, summer means hanging around in the clubhouse with the air-con blasting. When the air-con remote is accidentally broken, the friends are forced to face the full heat of summer. The next day, after an encounter with a mysterious student, they discover an incredible new addition to their clubhouse: a working time machine. Now they can go back to before the remote broke and cool down again. If only time travel was that simple…
