If you’re looking for a movie theater with wonderful views, you may far out much worse than moving to Riverside Studios. Who doesn’t need to chew the movie he just saw as swans in the old muddy Thames? And the good news is that the newly renovated Hammersmith Arts Hall is officially reopened. Turn on the swans.
In the program, circle of family favorites, old titles and award-winning films. This weekend is “Back to the Future,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “Bend It Like Beckham.” There is a 4K recovery of “Flash Gordon” on July 31, while on the same day, astronaut Eva Green’s drama “Proxima” will be the first new film to be screened. Get out safely and enjoy anything iconic on the big screen, after feeling trapped internally in the last few months,” says interim creative director Rachel Tackley. Local restaurants, bars and cafes are also open for business, while the theater area will return as soon as it is safe and viable to do so. With the required social estrangement measures and Hollywood offering minimal help in the form of new releases, ‘Mulan’ has just joined ‘Tenet’ after being removed from the August launch program: it’s a challenging environment for British cinemas. Frankly, you’ll forgive them for going to the Winchester for taking a pint without blood and waiting for it to be over. But many have reopened, or plan to do so this month and in August – although most of the city’s independent cinemas will remain closed during the summer.
Here’s how to help your favorite local cinema at this hectic time. Find out when you plan to reopen your local photo library.
