Speakers from across the film exhibition industry will join academics to 
discuss for the first time at a national level the field of live cinema: 
film screenings augmented through live performance or immersive 
elements, including site-specific locations, technological intervention, 
social media engagement, and all manner of simultaneous interactive 
moments including singing, dancing, eating, drinking and smelling.

Entertainment*, *Edinburgh International Film Festival, Sheffield

There will also be a number of interactive installations for 
participants to engage with throughout the day, these include *ROAD*, 
and the National Theatre’s *VR wonder.land* exhibit.

*Hangmen Re-hanged* (18:45-22:45*)

We have devised a novel experience which draws together multiple 
elements, sensations and new collaborations from the live cinema and 
event cinema domains.

Our event is centered on a film screening of the play /The Hangmen/ (by 
Martin McDonagh) which was originally streamed live to cinemas on 3^rd 
March to conclude its successful West End run. We will reintroduce /The 
Hangmen’s/ theatrical context and the liveness of its original broadcast 
through a unique fusion of performance, film and food in a playful 
re-play of the play!

For the first time, the forms and aesthetics of ‘event’ cinema, ‘live’ 
cinema and promenade theatre are united in a hybrid, multi-layered, 
immersive and sensory experience, which promises to delight, surprise 
and enthrall the audience.

(Devised by Sarah Atkinson & Helen Kennedy in partnership with NT Live, 
Omnibus and Edible Cinema with Bombay Sapphire.)
