Future Cinema Launching New Series Of Screenings With David Lean’s ‘Brief Encounter’

If there is one thing that makes going to the cinema unlike anything else one can do to pass the time, it’s the inherent social aspects.   Seeing a film with a group of people in one theater is unlike any other communal experience around.

However, with the rise of VOD, that experience is starting to be lost.   But not without those attempting to save it.

Screen Daily has revealed Future Cinema is set to launch a new series of screenings, known as The Other Cinema, with a screening of David Lean’s masterpiece, ‘˜Brief Encounter.’ The screenings will take place at various locales, ranging from a park to a hospital, with Lean’s film being shown in a former ‘˜Picture Palace,’ known as The Troxy.   Organizers plan to bring back the black tie feel of the theater for the screening, with subsequent screenings taking place across the world.

Personally, I wish more people would do something like this.   I think the idea of this spontaneous screenings is really great, and could really revive the theater going experience for many people.   Films like ‘˜Brief Encounter’ deserve to be seen on the big screen, and this is just the way to go about it.
