(Sun 17th Feb / 8am to midnight-ish / £5)
(Mark Cousins / 2011 / 900 minutes)

Shown on More4 in 15 parts, Mark Cousins says he intended his superlative history of film to be seen on the silver screen and it’s easy to see why. This is a cinematic odyssey in every sense, showcasing the development of film from the late 1800s to the present day. We’ll be screening all 15 revelatory, fascinating and endlessly entertaining hours from 8am to midnight(ish).
Entry will be by wristband allowing you to dip and out as you wish throughout the day. If you’re in for the long haul we’ll be taking breakfast, lunch and dinner orders throughout this marathon screening, with a little treat for anyone who lasts the full distance.
