15 cinemas in satellite link-up

Chris Morris will talk about his controversial film Four Lions in an interview beamed live to 15 cinemas across Britain this weekend.

The normally publicity-shy comedian will be interviewed by Charlie Brooker, alongside actors Kayvan Novak, Adeel Akhtar, Riz Ahmed and writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain.

Their conversation about the terrorist-themed comedy will be beamed by satellite to 15 cinemas in the Picturehouse chain after the 6.30pm showing of the film this Saturday.

The venues carrying the interview are: Phoenix Picturehouse, Oxford; Regal Picturehouse, Henley; The Belmont Picturehouse, Aberdeen; The Little Theatre Cinema, Bath; Cinema City, Norwich; Exeter Picturehouse; City Screen Picturehouse, York; Harbour Lights Picturehouse, Southampton; Greenwich Picturehouse, London; The Cameo, Edinburgh; Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge; Duke Of York’s Picturehouse, Brighton; Picturehouse At Fact, Liverpool; The Ritzy, Brixton; The Lexi Cinema, Kensal Rise, London.
