Pop Up Screens founder David Leydon said:  “Last summer was amazing and we had nothing but fantastic comments from everyone that came to see a movie with us, so we’re coming back again and stepping it up a gear by returning with 30 movies in some of the most beautiful parks in London.  The idea of coming back is very exciting and we’ve had a lot of fun putting the movie list together so there should be something for everyone”

David continued to say, “There’s a beautiful innocence to outdoor cinema.  When you’re little you go to the cinema excited because it’s a birthday party or a first date – it’s an experience you’re sharing and loving.  You get a bit older and cinema looses that buzz, it’s still wonderful, but the magic has gone, and that’s the thing about Pop Up Screens grown ups of all ages come for their birthday parties, or for a first date, last year someone even came for their wedding reception. Outdoor cinema hasn’t lost that excitement, that buzz and you can genuinely feel it as you settle down to a watch a film you love, with 300 other people who love it too”.
