“I’ll trouble you for a light, friend”

That was a dream come true. Johnny Guitar on an IMAX screen. Such lust! So corduroy! And that Lie to Me scene is surely one of the top 5 in cinema
Big thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday. Here’s a couple of pics of us testing the films before we opened the doors… gives you a good sense how impressive the Megascreen is. Thank you to @filmhubsw.bsky.social and @20thcflicks.bsky.social. We are back next weekend: ti.to/film-noir-uk...

Had such a great time with @bristoluni.bsky.social today showing Back to the Future on the big and beautiful Megascreen today. I've seen it a hundred times and it's never looked or sounded better. Such a treat!
