Bonnie and Clyde: an immersive 1960s cinema experience (18 June)

UCL History's AHRC-funded Remembering 1960s British Cinema-going project presents an immersive 1960s cinema-going experience with a screening of Bonnie & Clyde (1967). A stylish but controversial mix of romance, crime and violence (advertised as "They're young. They're in love. They kill people!"), this landmark film starred Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway and influenced both sixties fashion and music. 

If you would like to return for an evening to the atmosphere of the Sixties, our friendly cinema staff will be there to make your evening as much fun as possible. The cinema manager, ushers and usherettes will welcome you warmly and show you to your seat. You will be treated to a full programme including 1968 newsreel, advertisements and cartoons, and given the chance to buy boiled sweets and shake-in-the-bag crisps before the feature.

This event was created using findings from UCL's Cultural Memory and British Cinema-going of the 1960s project, which - also financed by the Arts and Humanities Research Council - collected memories from almost 1000 people who went to cinemas in the 1960s, a crucial decade in the history both of cinema and Britain generally. UCL historians and a group of young actors have worked together on these recollections to develop an immersive cinema event that recreates the experience of cinema-going in the 1960s.
