Considered the newest thing in Toronto’s entertainment scene, 360 Screenings is celebrating their fourth event with a special Valentine’s edition promising to be bigger and better than their previously sold-out productions.

A fusion of theatre, film and cocktail party this immersive screening series offers an alternative Valentine’s Day night. Audiences normally watch a film but with a 360 Screenings event they become part of the film.

360 Screenings began last May with a production of Jerry Zucker’s Ghost. The film and 360 experience played to a sold out audience. 360 Screenings’ events combine live performance with traditional film viewing. Beloved films of the past set the stage at historic and unique venues while audiences are instructed on what to wear, and where to show up only 24 hours prior to the screening. The film is kept hidden until the night of the event. From the moment audiences arrive they ‘step into the film.’ The venue is furnished entirely to reflect the film’s environment. Part cocktail party, part live performance event, part film screening, 360 Screenings is changing the way Canadians enjoy cinema. The event invites film lovers to step into the film.

Created by Toronto’s Ned Loach and Robert Gontier, 360 Screenings is unlike any cinematic experience in Canada, allowing the audience to not only watch but to step into the film. Previous screenings have included Fight Club, Ghost and 28 Days Later. See images of all previous events here.

I was at their Hallowe’en Edition last October and I had a great time… My companion got quite the fright from some very serious looking zombies. Definitely a memorable experience!
