Secret Cinema

Secretcinema1_2

We're not supposed to tell you about this. So, if anyone asks, you didn't hear it from us. This conversation never happened. We're not even here.

Secret Cinema is a new monthly movie screening event, showing "stimulating, challenging and groundbreaking cinema" in random locations chosen because they help add something to the film being shown. It could be anything: "derelict theatres, rooftops, parks and other secret spaces".

The location and identity of the film being screened is only emailed to subscribers the day before the screening, adding to the air of mystery (and ensuring a lot of online chatter too).

Their last screening was Gus Van Sant's Paranoid Park (you can check out photos from the screening on their Flickr page).

The first film for 2008 is being screened this Wednesday, 13 February, in London and Bristol. Details about the what, where and when (as well as how to get tickets) will be emailed out tomorrow. We have no idea what the film will be, the only rumor we've heard is that it somehow relates to Valentine's Day. Go to their site to register for info. You can also check out their Facebook page.
