Curzon will be venturing into people’s homes via their Curzon Home Cinema service, with a specially curated series of films with the support of world-class filmmakers including Ruben Östlund, Celine Sciamma and Andrew Haigh.
The virtual cinema experience of curated films will be shown over the coming weeks, with people around the country encouraged to watch along together to retain the magic of the collective viewing experience. The films will be followed by an exclusive live interview with the director talking from their own personal isolation.
The series will launch on Friday 27th March with the release of System Crasher (courtesy of 606 Distribution), followed by a live Q&A with director Nora Fingscheidt. The live Q&A will begin at 9pm (GMT), and Curzon encourages people at home to watch along together from 6.45pm (GMT). The film will also be available on the service from the morning of Friday 27th March.
