Creative Careers Academy member Alex Williams, currently working with Somerset House Visitor Experience team, shares his experience of London's largest outdoor cinema, Film4 Summer Screen
Being a part of the Visitor Experience team, my role essentially is to understand how our visitors respond to the building and the programme, and to ensure that we create a unique experience for every visitor. As an individual I am interested in the changing human psyche in a modern world and how this is interpreted in the way people interact with arts and event spaces.
As part of my role at Somerset House I was able to see behind the scenes and even get tickets to the Film4 Summer Screen. Summer Screen took place over two weeks showing a diverse selection of screenings, including premiers such as Pain and Glory directed by Pedro Almodóvar and Inna De Yard by Peter Webber. The line-up also included classics like The Matrix and The Princess Bride plus cinematic excellence in the form of God’s Own Country and Black Panther. Out of the mega blockbuster list of films available I settled on the 90s classic Clueless.
