Lost Picture Show hosts a Rooftop cinema at Land of Kings
After 4 years of touring Glastonbury, Shambala and Bestival, The Lost Picture Show take their first foray outside of muddy fields to bring a special programme of film and music to Land Of Kings festival on the lush Dalston Roof Park.
Ease into the evening with cocktails on the roof and a sunset selection of dreamy film soundtracks.
Once darkness falls and the projector beam flickers into life, there’ll be cutting-edge short film and music videos from London Short Film Festival, an exclusive performance by Fanfarlo, performing a brass, strings and woodwind live accompaniment to Choni the Circle Maker. The psychedelic whirl of Orchestra Elastique will soundtrack a forgotten classic and, to top it all off, the opportunity to sing your heart out in the wonderfully ridiculous Film Soundtrack Karaoke, courtesy of The Sound Of Film.
This is not definitely not your average night at the pictures!
