The Italian Job – Thornbridge Tap Room

An indoor screening of the classic, 1969 film, The Italian Job.

Hosted at the wonderful Thornbridge Tap Room, using our silent cinema screening kit, we’re having the first of a series of screenings planned for the winter months. A silent screening does not mean there’s no sound, just that you wear headphones to listen to the film. We provide all the equipment.

Thornbridge will have the bar open and you’ll be able to order their tasty pizza on the night too, to munch at whilst watching the film.

How does a silent cinema work?

We broadcast the film sound from small transmitter. We give you a receiver and some headphones so that you can hear the sound. You can bring your own headphones (if you wish), but they must use a standard stereo connector, we CAN’T connect bluetooth headphones currently.

Why are we screening it silently?

By screening it silently we’re able to provide a better sound experience in an open space, such as the Tap Room. It will also allow Thornbridge to open the bar to other members of the public, without disturbing the viewing experience, or letting others listen in without a ticket. This means we can keep the ticket prices down for you.

What will I need to bring?

Just yourself and any friends, oh and maybe some way to pay for a beer or pizza. Otherwise, we provide a seat, headphones and all the kit for a great screening experience.

What time does it start and finish?

The sun goes down at 19:10 on the scheduled date, we’ll start the film soon after that, probably about 19:20. Lower light provides a better screening experience. The film lasts for 95 mins, so we expect it to finish about 21:00.

Got more questions?

That’s fine! Any questions relating to this screening, please get in touch with us – hello@hopevalleycinema.com
