Topic: Secret Cinema

Teague posting videos of his elaborate movie-themed parties reminded me of this awesome group I'd heard about a few months ago, called Secret Cinema. They're based in the UK sadly, but they organize MASSIVELY detailed movie screening events. Here's the amazing one they did for blade runner if you haven't seen it:

Has anyone heard of anything like that stateside (on that scale at any rate)?

Damn, that looks like a lot of fun.

Haven't seen anything that elaborate in the states. In LA, Cinefamily will do stuff more along the lines of the Jurassic Park party (papier-mâché Mondo Burgers for a Good Burger screening, giant steel pyramid frame for esoteric literal cult movies).

Cinespia, who does the cemetary screening series over the summer has to manage a more sizable crowd, I could see them doing something more like Secret Cinema sometime.

Cinefamily and Cinespia teamed up last year to screen Cave of Forgotten Dreams in a hall of the LA Natural History Museum, pictures from which looked really cool. Fossils hanging overhead and all that.

At the other end of that spectrum, there was a guerilla drive in downtown for a while that would just take over a parking lot and project movies onto a whitewashed building from a pick up truck. They'd screen stuff like the Henson shorts, rarities, and old commercials program that bounces around. Most atmospheric thing there was just how creepy-empty parts of downtown are at night.

When the hell was this? How could this happen a mere hour and change away from me and I not hear about it!

We have a secret cinema at my university, but it's nowhere near as cool as that.
