More details about the 5th Annual Everyman Music Film Festival have been announced, including the full line-up of events.
Some of the key releases this year include Rocketman, starring Taron Egerton as Elton John in the latest music biopic to hit the screens, and Amazing Grace, a look at the extraordinary life of one of pop music’s greatest singers, Aretha Franklin.
The Everyman Music Film Festival is a celebration of the crossover and creativity between the fields of music and film.
Since 2015, the festival has been held annually at various sites across the UK, including Islington’s Screen On The Green – famous for its association with the early gigs of the Punk movement in the 1970s.
2019 presents a new opportunity for a brand to ride the wave of excitement that accompanies the Everyman Music Film Festival and align with its premium ABC1 25–35 audience.
Artwork for this year’s festival has been created by Vasilis, known for his association with Academy Award-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos on the posters for The Favouriteand The Lobster.
Tickets for the festival go on sale on Tuesday 9 April.
Speaking of this year’s festival, Amelia Miranda, Business Development Manager – Partnerships of Everyman Cinemas, had the following to say:
"We’re super excited to be announcing the 5th Annual Everyman Music and Film Festival this May.
What started off as a centenary celebration of the iconic Screen on the Green in Islington has now grown into a full-fledged UK wide festival, bringing some of the most interesting and unseen content around the intrinsic link between Music and Film, into some of the most best beautiful cinemas the UK has to offer.
In 2018 we partnered with Camden Town Brewery, a EMMF first. This partnership not only allowed us to put on higher scale and multifaceted events, but also enabled us to align ourselves with a creative, inventive, and likeminded brand.
We had the opportunity to introduce Hells to an audience that may not have considered the brand before, as well being able to take a London-centric brand on the road to our venues outside of the capital.
There’s a real theme emerging with iconic musicians this year, with films around Aretha, Hendrix, Pendergrass, the Rocket Man himself Sir Elton…
As well as some unexpected titles - like the making of “Who Let the Dogs Out”, which recently premiered to SXSW to rave reviews, and the UK premiere of Teen Spirit, starring Elle Fanning and directed by Hampstead’s own Max Minghella of Handmaids Tale fame."
A number of bespoke opportunities with the Everyman Music Film Festival are still available for partner brands. Get in touch with your DCM rep for more information, and download the deck here
