In response to cinemas across the country closing their doors, Curzon plans to bring the cinema experience into the homes of film lovers in partnership with some of the world’s greatest working directors.
The initiative will see Curzon’s virtual cinema venue curate a series of films over the coming weeks, with people around the country encouraged to watch along together to retain the magic of the collective viewing experience. The films will be followed by an exclusive live interview with the director talking from their own personal isolation.
The series will launch on Friday 27th March with the release of System Crasher (courtesy of 606 Distribution), followed by a live Q&A with director Nora Fingscheidt.
The live Q&A will begin at 9pm (GMT), and Curzon encourages people at home to watch along together from 6.45pm GMT (though the film will be available on the service from the morning of Friday 27th March).
