Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) preview screening

Birdman poster
Time for the next cool movie! This wild, savagely funny black comedy is not at all your usual kind of superhero film.
BIRDMAN marries scurrilous showbiz satire with the poignant tale of a man facing up to his own obsolescence, and Keaton’s performance is absolutely fearless. A truly dazzling film..

Interstellar

Currently riding high with a huge IMDB score greater than 9, come watch the movie with us, the Non-Multiplex Cinemagoers Group, at the UK exclusive advance screening at the Odeon Leicester Square, this Thursday 6th November, a day before nationwide release.

With over an hour shot on 70mm film, there are only a handful of screens in the UK capable of screening this quality. Note that Digital IMAX screens use 2K/4K digital projectors whilst 70mm film delivers around 9K resolution.

The Odeon Leicester Square will be projecting straight off 70mm film print, using Cinemeccanica Victoria 10 film projectors, assuring the highest quality.

We have special access to the Royal Circle bar, regardless of the ticket you bought. Come join us upstairs there for a drink or two from 7pm, an hour before the screening at 8pm. This is a great opportunity to meet other filmmakers.
