The Lexi Cinema will be running three outdoor screening events at the end of this summer. Each screening will be themed and will include live entertainment.
The UK’s friendliest community cinema, The Lexi in Kensal Rise, teams up with outdoor cinema expert The Screen On The Green this September, to launch northwest London’s first ever large-scale cinema al fresco extravaganza.
A mini carnival of film and fun, The Lexi Cinema in the Park will be on location in two of the area’s best-loved parks for three special events. As the sun sets over the trees, a cast of hundreds will play their part in this trilogy of exciting new productions, directed by the country’s first social enterprise boutique cinema - run predominantly by local volunteers, donating 100% of its profits to charity.
The series premiere takes place at a magically transformed, award-winning Roundwood Park - in association with Brent Council - Saturday 18th, a rousing, all-adventure climax in the shape of Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Specially costumed ushers will open the gates for each event at 7.00pm, welcoming guests to the festively dressed parks, inviting them to soak up the live themed entertainment, assemble their picnic from the variety of food and drink goodies on sale, before unrolling their blanket and taking in the sunset as the main feature lights up the huge, 8 x 6 metre inflatable screen.
Founder-dreamer Sally Wilton explains The Lexi’s expansion into mobile cinema: “The Lexi’s mission is to bring the magic of cinema to the local community. The outdoor screenings in the park allow us to recreate the special experience of a visit to The Lexi on a much larger scale, whilst somehow still retaining the warm, welcoming intimacy of our beautiful little cinema. The usual Lexi touches, such as film introductions, great wine, live music and friendly, passionate local volunteers will all be there. For these shows, however, The Lexi’s incredible, overhead auditorium light installation will be replaced by sunset, moonlight and a blanket of stars!”
Together, The Lexi and The Screen on the Green have planned over 50 similar events across the rest of London and the Southeast this year, with plans to go way above and beyond that number in 2011. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. To be continued…
