You must be having a bubble?!

With the tragic news of Tony Scott's death today, I thought I would share a film-related event.   

Pop-up film venues are spreading like (a good but ferocious) rash across The Capital.   Future Shorts has embarked on the biggest pop up film festival the World has ever seen in the hope of bringing the best in short film to audiences around the globe.  Hoping to span 6 continents, 70 countries and 180 cities, the festival's current stop is here in London town!

Tomorrow night's event (Tuesday 21st August) brings us a screening with a twist.  We all know we can rave in a warehouse, have a pint in a car park or wander street food stalls in an abandonded train station, but this pop-up is unlike any others.  When most people say, 'Let's go out for bubbles', they usually mean champagne.  However, perched atop East London's Netil House are 12 hot tubs, ready and waiting for film goers to strip off and get cosy with each other.  Following the success of the Back to the Future screening last weekend, Future Shorts is now taking over the venue for their next night of the Summer Season Short Film Festival.  Prices start from £22 and a selection of hot tubs are on offer - the 'Ghetto' is packed with a maximum of 8 other people; the 'Spacious' tubs have a maximum of 6; and entire group bookings of tubs can be made for a mere £200. 

So strip off, sit back and enjoy the 40 degree heat while sipping your wine and enjoying the film - just beware of prune fingers!
