“Films and the subconscious have always had an uncanny affinity with one another, and to lose yourself within a film is to enter a type of dream state,” said David Cox, Film4 Summer Screen programmer.
The first four films to be screened this summer at Somerset House, London’s occasional open-air cinema, have been revealed and it’s a strong line-up.
Inception is first up, Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending epic, followed by beloved Bowie musical adventure Labyrinth, last year’s delicate and dream-like Call Me By Your Name and David Lynch’s 80s cult classic Blue Velvet.
All films this year will take the ‘theme of dreams, focusing on fantasies, reveries, nightmares and nocturnes.’
