Hot Tub Cinema
Hot Tub Cinema is a cinematic experience created in 2012.[1]
Overview
[edit]Created by Asher Charman,[1] the events combine popular films with hot tubs, often in unusual spaces such as rooftops, old factories or abandoned train stations (such as the former Shoreditch tube station, London).[2] In addition to watching a film, cinema-goers have the opportunity to celebrate after the film with a VJ-led party.
In addition to shows in London, Hot Tub Cinema events have been held in New York City,[3] Ibiza,[4] and in several cities around the UK.[5]
Notable screenings
[edit]In addition to regular shows, Hot Tub Cinema has also been involved in several film & TV launches, such as a one-off launch screening Spring Breakers which included an appearance from the writer/director Harmony Korine. Held in an abandoned fire station in South London, in addition to the film and afterparty guests could experience recreations of iconic scenes throughout the venue.[6]
They also created an event for a DVD launch of The Walking Dead, which included (real) roast squirrel and a tub full of blood and limbs.[7]
