Live Cinema: New Art Form or Box Office Fad?

'Live cinema' events have exploded. In the US, Alamo Drafthouse lead the way with quote-alongs, sing-alongs, dance-alongs in new pop-up locations outside of the theatre space, including recent 'float-along' screenings of Jaws. The UK now sees three-month long immersive productions of Back the the Future, and 800-year old monasteries are turned into Hogwarts. Live scores too are big business, with some of the biggest UK bands dedicating years of development to creating new live soundtracks. Are we witnessing a new convergent art form, or just a way of adding a few dollars to our ticket prices? Supported by UKTI Passport to Export, Arts Council England and BFI Film Audience Network
