360 Screenings, the interactive screening series, is back with their fifth event. After four sold-out productions, 360 Screenings is expanding to include two days and three separate screening times on May 31st and June 1st, each offering the same immersive experience.
Not only is 360 Screenings is a fusion of live performance, theatre and film, but each event is held at a secret location, revealed 24 hours prior to the date. I had the pleasure to chat with funders Ned Loach and Robert Gontier, last October, when things were slowly but surely building up. And I also attended their super fun Hallowe’en screening of 28 Days Later; a total blast! Now, Toronto audiences get a chance to join in the fun with these three different screening times.

So how does 360 Screenings work? If you’re a fan of surprises, you first order your ticket (here). You can follow the event on their Facebook and / or Twitter pages to find out clues about what the film could be. Oh yes, the film is also kept secret until the actual screening in the second half of the evening. But no worries, you will also receive an email with instructions, directions, and more clues.
On the night of the event, upon arrival, you will soon become part of the set related to the film. You are also highly encouraged to interact and engage with the actors and the familiar scenes which are unfolding around you. Past 360 Screenings have included Ghost, Fight Club, 28 Days Later and Amélie. If you’re looking for new ways to experience film, art, and more, 360 Screenings is the place to be. See you on set!
