The Arzner presents The Arzner: Cinema in the Square – three days of outdoor cinema, community, and summer celebration, this August Bank Holiday weekend, 23rd–25th August.
Organised by the team at The Arzner cinema & cocktail bar, London’s only LGBTQ+ cinema,
this debut outdoor cinema event brings a mix of queer and queer-adjacent stories, musicals, blockbusters, and family favourites to the heart of SE1 over three days.
Each day will feature four screenings from midday, with earlier films curated for families and evening slots reserved for films that adults will love. Whether you’re looking for a sunny afternoon with the kids, a movie date under the stars, or a reason to catch up with friends.
The Arzner: Cinema in the Square promises to be the perfect way to spend the long weekend.“We’ve curated a community event which celebrates the power and joy of queer
storytelling, with an outdoor twist that’s accessible to everyone. We’re so excited to
bring this experience to SE1 and the wider LGBTQ+ community, and this is just the
beginning for Cinema in the Square” says co-founder and programmer Piers Greenlees,
who curated the film lineup in line with The Arzner’s mission to spotlight LGBTQ+ stories.
