One-night-only anniversary screening of a new film whose title is kept secret until the lights go down at The Odyssey Cinema.
The Odyssey Cinema is celebrating its 12th anniversary with a surprise film screening on Wednesday 11 November, and as the name suggests, the title is being kept secret. It's a one-night-only preview of a handpicked new film, and you won't find out what it is until the lights go down. There are no adverts or trailers running beforehand, so the film starts promptly.
For those who haven't spent much time there, The Odyssey is an independent single-screen Art Deco cinema on London Road in St Albans. It's a proper cinema, the kind that mixes new releases with classics, event cinema and special screenings, and it's got licensed bars and wheelchair access. Over the last decade it's built up a real following of film lovers in the city, and this surprise screening is how they're marking twelve years of that.
It's not the only thing they do, either. The cinema runs a Film Club strand that's put on titles like the 1955 classic East of Eden and a 50th-anniversary showing of Rocky, and they also host dementia-friendly screenings of films like The Sound of Music and White Christmas. So the surprise night fits right in with the mix of new and old they usually go for.
