The Live Cinema Conference 2016 brings together artists, practitioners,
producers, commissioners, exhibitors and academics to explore the
realised and potential impact of collaborations in the emergent area of
Live Cinema. In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward the
creation of a cinema that escapes beyond the boundaries of the
auditorium through which film-screenings are augmented by synchronous
live performance, site-specific locations, technological intervention,
social media engagement, and all manner of simultaneous interactive
moments including singing, dancing, eating, drinking and smelling. Such
instances belong to the emergent area of ‘Live’ or ‘experiential’
cinema, and include all events inspired by the moving image with
additional theatrical, sensorial, musical, spoken word or dance
experiences. The conference includes speakers involved in the
production, delivery and attendance of outdoor screenings, drive-ins,
sing-a-longs, sensory augmentations, fully immersive experiences and
event-led distribution, spanning the independent to the mainstream. The
conference will capture the over-arching current state-of-the-field, as
well as offering unique and in-depth insights into the various
manifestations of live cinema economies and cultures.  The day will
include live panel debates, workshops and masterclasses addressing some
key emergent challenges identify in current research.

The Conference forms part of a research project funded by the Arts
Council England Grants for the Arts led by Lisa Brook of Live Cinema UK,
in collaboration with Sarah Atkinson (King’s College, London) and Helen
W. Kennedy (University of Brighton).

*Evening Event – /The Hangmen, /19:00-22:00*

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.

(In partnership with NT Live, Omnibus and Edible Cinema with Bombay
Sapphire)
