Compiled by Jack Foley
FILM4 Summer Screen returns for another 10 nights of film fun between July 31 and August 9.
The magnificent Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court at Somerset House will once again be transformed into a full-scale open-air cinema with state-of-the-art giant screen, 35mm projection and surround-sound.
Arrive early, relax and soak up the atmosphere before the film with good food, drinks and DJs.
However, film fans should book tickets quickly as they’re selling fast!
Highlights include…
