This looks like a lot of fun!
Free film screenings, events and performances aboard a floating cinema in East London this summer.
The Floating Cinema in London
Climb aboard a converted canal boat for free entertainment as The Floating Cinema navigates the waterways of the Olympic boroughs.
The 12-seater auditorium will show special footage and film shorts as well as offering canal tours, talks and workshops.
There will also be some larger scale outdoor film events for canal-side audiences.
The Floating Cinema Programme
The project kicks off on 1 July with a free event outside Lea Rowing Club with DJs, live music, water-themed film footage and film shorts made by teenagers in the Olympic host boroughs.
The rest of the programme includes film screenings at Shoreditch Festival, a canal trip into the Olympic Park with author Iain Sinclair and guided tours of the East End’s green spaces.
Floating Cinema Open Thursdays: Turn up between 2-8pm on Thursdays during July and August and you can meet the crew and watch unique film footage.
All events are free but booking for tours and performances is essential.
