Oooh I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting to go a Secret Cinema event for a long time now but haven’t quite got my act together.. just to fill you in, Secret Cinema is a group of genius individuals who create screenings of popular cult films in the theme of the film itself. The main draw is the mystique surrounding the events - each month a film, which is kept secret until the very last minute, is screened in an undisclosed location. You are given a few cryptic clues such as a dress code, but the whole experience is geared towards brewing as much excitement as possible! The founder of Secret Cinema Fabien Riggall says he feels it is important that the audience becomes part of the event.

For example, the last Secret Cinema screening showed Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner….shrouded in mystery, I’ve read participants were taken in a bus from Canary Wharf station to a warehouse in the docklands that was reconstructed in the image of China Town, Los Angeles, November 2019. Actors made the scenes come alive..there was a chinese woman offering passersby a live, cloned scorpion in a jar; a woman in a gold and black bikini had an albino python wrapped around her shoulders and two dancers writhed in futuristic masks to name a few of them. Wowzers!

For the upcoming Secret Cinema all I’ve been told is.. “We are looking for the world’s journeymen, fighters, rebels, artists, musicians and dreamers who do not fear the dark of the nights or the heat of the midday sun. Stay quiet, only whisper amongst yourselves, and look for secret paths amongst the streets and alleyways from where you are from. Be part of the uprising…” Cryptic.

Anybody else going too? Post your ideas on what the film might be below…..the suspense is killing me!

Secret Cinema events take place monthly and the latest details can be found on their website at www.secretcinema.org
