Midsummer Nights Screen

Dalston Roof Park a little area of green atop a Dalston roof with stunning views of the city, hosts evening screenings, with a difference – the films are all chosen because of their cine-aceness and kick- ass soundtracks. Up next are Scarlett Johannson and Bill Murray in Tokyo dream Lost In Translation and Sixties classic The Graduate.

£7, July 20 & Aug 30. 6.30pm

Picturehouse Cinemas

This indie-art- styled chain flirts with the mainstream, but focuses on leftfield, smaller-scale flicks. Recently, comedian Tony Hawks presented his film Playing The Moldovans At Tennis (it’s about exactly that). Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing screens this month, as does a filmed production of Danny Boyle’s stage version of Frankenstein.

Pop Up Screens

”I love movies but I got to the stage of hating going to the cinema,” Pop Up Screen’s founder David Leyton says of the inspiration behind his pop-up moviegoing. Taking to some of London’s biggest parks will be Derek Zoolander and Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy, with beers and wine and buffalo, ostrich, springbok, wild boar and wildebeest from Tuckers Exotic Meat Shack, too.

£8, Friday July 20-Sept 16
