Plymouth Arts Cinema announces film programme for Open Air Cinema at Tinside Lido

Plymouth Arts Cinema’s season of film by the water’s edge is a highlight of Plymouth’s summer calendar, bringing people together to sing along to musicals, lose themselves in the latest sci-fi, or enjoy favourite classics in the stunning location. Tinside is a 1935 Art Deco lido – and truly one of Plymouth’s architectural gems.

Professor Paul Fieldsend-Danks, Vice Chancellor of Arts University Plymouth, said, "Arts University Plymouth is proud to be sponsoring the Open Air Cinema for the fifth consecutive year. This event organised by Plymouth Arts Cinema is truly a highlight of the Summer for the city, and we are delighted to be able to support them in bringing the community together to celebrate great cinema in our amazing ocean city."

All profits are invested in PAC’s charitable mission of enabling as many people in our community as possible to experience great cinema.

This year’s films are:

Grease (PG)
Friday 11th August
Starting the summer without a good old-fashioned crowd-pleaser. Grease is every bit the songfest you remember it as, with innuendo, laughs and a huge, huge heart.

Jaws (12A)
Saturday 12th August
It wouldn’t be summer at Tinside Lido without Jaws, the most feared/loved film about the terrors of swimming!

Enys Men (15)
Sunday 13th August
Is there a more perfect setting for a screening of this atmospheric film, set on a deserted and windswept Island off the coast of Cornwall, than at Tinside where we can look over at Drakes Island. This is a mind- bending Cornish folk horror tale, gorgeously shot on grainy 16mm.

Everything Everywhere All At Once (15)
Friday 18th August
The film that took the world by storm is a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman (Michelle Yeoh) who just can't seem to finish her taxes. Swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led, the fate of the world is suddenly in the hands of a most unlikely hero.

The Blues Brothers (15)
Saturday 19th August
John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, the biggest car chase in film history and a killer soundtrack from the most iconic singers in the world is pure, unadulterated joy.

Roman Holiday (U)
Sunday 20th August
With Audrey Hepburn luminous in her American debut, Roman Holiday is as funny as it is beautiful, and we guarantee you will go home with stars in your eyes.
