Sep 24 2012 – Back in August we reviewed the 360 Screenings presentation of Fight Club and gave the incredible and immersive movie experience a 4.5 out of 5. Read our review here. Today we get word of the next installment of 360 Screenings – Toronto’s hottest immersive movie experience. Read below for the details and do yourself a favor and get down there for the show. We are willing to bet its gonna be the best immersive haunted house in Toronto that week.
Toronto, ON — 360 Screenings, an immersive screening series is proud to announce a special Halloween production on October 24th at 7pm. 360 Screenings provides a cinematic experience that audiences not only watch but also become a part of through live theatre installations. Every event features a theatre and cocktail portion followed by a film screening. The location of the venue is kept secret until 24 hours prior to the screening, and the film itself isn’t revealed until it screens. From the moment the audience arrives at the venue they become fully immersed in the story of the film. A hybrid between live theatre and cinema, the audience is encouraged to explore, uncover and interact with the actors and set design. While enjoying hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, scenarios and dialogue unfold that help provide hints as to what movie will be screened.
Inspired by a similar screening series in the UK, Toronto’s Ned Loach and Robert Gontier have brought this unique idea to Canada. The use of Toronto Heritage buildings and unique city venues set the scene for the film and encourages the audience to discover the historic beauty of Toronto. The location is furnished entirely to reflect the film’s environment and bring to life beloved films of the past. Previous screenings have included Fight Club and Ghost, all which played to sold-out audiences and received rave reviews.

| Toronto’s 360 Screenings |
About 360 Screenings:
360 Screenings began in May 2012 with a production of Jerry Zucker’s GHOST. The film and 360 experience played to a sold out audience. 360 Screenings produce events that combine live performance with traditional film viewing. Beloved films of the past set the stage at historic and interesting venues while audiences are instructed on what to wear, and where to show up only 24 hours prior to the screening. The film is kept hidden until the night of the event. From the moment audiences arrive they ‘step into the film.’ The venue, which could be a loft, a field, or any unique location, is furnished entirely to reflect the film’s environment. Part cocktail party, part live performance event, part film screening, 360 Screenings is changing the way Canadians enjoy cinema. They invite film lovers of all walks to step into the film.
