Jul 12th
The Blackpool Tower Eye*
   

(GB 2019) 
To commemorate the 125th anniversary of the opening of Blackpool Tower, this immersive "4D" short film was made, complete with audiences splashed with seawater./bubbles, vibration effects, etc., a curious gimmick when serving as a prelude to visiting the real thing. As a piece of cinema, it harkens back to the days when movies were popular as fairground sideshows, as well as the trick movies of William Castle.


Blackpool Tower's 4D cinema (within the girders of the tower itself), standing room only.
