Wavelength Media's Drive-In Summer Cinema Series 2020 [read more]
Surf's really up
Following the mammoth success of Wavelength Media’s Drive-In Summer Cinema Series during 2020, the team is delighted to announce the event series is surfing back into Cornwall, bigger and better for 2021. Bringing an epic schedule of family-friendly flicks, cult cinema classics and gnar-shredding surf movies, this year will feature additional afternoon screenings on bigger LED screens as well as an exclusive Surf Film Festival, celebrating current and classic surf cinema.
Quoted by Time Out Magazine as 'the most beautiful outdoor cinema', listed by the Financial Times and Conde Nast Traveller Magazine as one of the world’s best outdoor cinema experiences, and lauded by Radio 2 DJ, Jo Whiley amongst others, last year's alfresco cinematic sessions provided the perfect backdrop of peeling waves and stunning sunsets. Although in a neighbouring field (but still within Trebelsue Farm), the Wavelength Drive-In Cinema Series 2021 guarantees the same awe-inspiring setting overlooking hotspot; Watergate Bay Beach, near Newquay, North Cornwall, just from a different angle.
With space for over 200 cars and vans, the series will kick off on Friday 16th July, showing the 1978 'coming of age' surf film, Big Wednesday in the evening and mockumentary comedy, Surf's Up in the daytime. A total of 21 screenings will take place throughout the summer from July, across every weekend (from Thursdays to Sundays), with the sun finally setting on the sessions on 15th September.
The daytime showings will start at 12.45pm throughout with a host of fun family-friendly films such as The Goonies, The Greatest Showman, Moana and Pirates of the Caribbean amongst many others. The evening films will commence at 6pm. Some of the timeless cult classics set to screen include much-loved Dirty Dancing, legendary drive-in film, Grease and Spielberg thriller, Jaws. The surf-inspired movie line up will see exhilarating and entertaining options such as Blue Juice, Point Break, Riding Giants and Big Wednesday displayed atop the Atlantic Ocean. The full and extensive line up is available via Wavelength's website.
