FUTURE CINEMA, the creators of SECRET CINEMA, are proud to announce the launch of SECRET SCREENINGS, a new monthly film club bringing surprise screenings to cinemas around the UK. The event launches on May 2nd in LONDON, BRIGHTON and EDINBURGH and a single mystery film will be shown simultaneously across these venues.
SECRET SCREENING films will be a mix of forgotten classics, cult favourites and exclusive previews. Similarly to the SECRET CINEMA concept the film will remain a secret until the opening credits roll and on the night guests will be entertained by special live performances and exclusive competitions.
Fabien Riggall, founder of Future Cinema, explains the new concept...
“Secret Screenings is about creating a different and unusual cinema event experience where the audience have no idea what they are seeing until the credits role. Secret Screenings will provide an alternative distribution system for exclusive previews, classics and cult films in an environment suited to the film.”

Future Shorts dances with love this February with the launch of an exclusive selection of short films inspired by love, sex, happiness and everything in between. Premiering at the Brixton Ritzy on Valentines weekend, the programme will then tour the UK.
Films include the beautiful and haunting 'Little Minx Exquisite Corpse: Come Wander With Me' - part of a fascinating project inspired by a surreal parlour game, ‘Wrestling,’ Grímur Hákonarson's love story about two gay wrestlers living in rural Iceland and ‘Top Girl’ a tender truthful and brutally comic tale set in Brixton. Love and happiness in all its twisted forms will be explored in a cinema experience like no other.
In association with the BFI, Future Shorts are also proud to present a rarely seen short from Jeff Keen, a leading light of the British experimental film scene, which will be shown ahead of the main programme.
Each venue will be adding its own unique touch to the Dances with Love experience, bringing together local film-makers, musicians and especially dancing under one roof for an unforgettable night.

Bertie is in a coma whilst his wife enjoys the high
life. Witness the rise and fall of this couple living
under the Heathrow airport flight path. Based on
a real phenomenon airlines would rather we
didn't know about, this film is a little thing with a
lot of impact.
