Queen’s Film Theatre and BT are joining forces to present an exclusive preview screening of a new and exciting film with the BT Surprise Screening from 9pm on Saturday 27 March.
BY KERRI-ANNE CAMPBELL
The event is part of BT and QFT’s three year partnership which began at the BT Reel Genius Festival in 2009. It will bring together QFT’s history of bringing the best of film to Northern Ireland and BT’s reputation for innovation through communication. BT is a significant business partner for Culture and Arts at Queen’s and their collaboration brings together digital communication and film in a new and exciting way.
Susan Picken, Head of QFT, said, “Our partnership with BT enables us to programme events which will bring excitement, entertainment and surprises to Northern Ireland audiences and the BT Surprise Screening is a key element of this.”
The title of the film will remain a closely guarded secret right up until the credits roll, however, a series of clues will be released over the coming days in order to encourage people to think about, look at and discuss film in new and innovative ways. Picken suggests, “Watch the streets, the skies, your PC, and listen in to Citybeat to find out more!”
Funded by Arts & Business and supported by Citybeat, QFT promise that the BT Surprise Screening will be a memorable experience for audiences.
According to Peter Morris, Consumer Director for BT, “BT is delighted to be working with QFT on this unique idea… Audiences will have to make their best guess from clues released via the web and social networking sites. It’s really a type of digital treasure hunt.”
Tickets cost £10 and pre-film cocktails and live music will be on offer. To find out the first clues and book online visit www.queensfilmtheatre.com/BTSurprise.
