Peckham’s rooftop cinema is back in town.
The Rooftop Film Club is reopening at Rye Lane’s Bussey Building on 29 April.
This year’s programme at London’s first outdoor cinema will feature cult classics, as well as newly released films.
Films will be screened in the outdoor cinema on state of the art projectors, with wireless headphones, chairs and blankets.
“We celebrate everything that is great about film,” said Gerry Cottle Jnr, founder of Rooftop Film Club. “Having started out in 2011 as the UK’s first rooftop cinema experience, we’ve reinvented the way people enjoy cinema.”
“For us, it’s all about nostalgia [and] escapism … against a stunning backdrop of the London skyline, and of course, the opportunity to catch a new or favourite movie in a completely unique setting,” he added.
The new film season opens with True Romance (29 April), followed by Jurassic Park (30 April) and West Side Story (1 May).
There will then be a screening every day until 29 May, including “films that should have won an Oscar for dividing audiences”, such as Donnie Darko, as well as “swoon-worthy flicks” featuring Tom Cruise.
The Rooftop Film Club will continue into the summer months, “serving up big 90s energy” with a series of prom films.
