SUNSET BOULEVARD (PG)

The Floating Cinema is an award-winning structure conceived and commissioned by UP Projects and designed by Duggan Morris Architects. The structure is a mechanism through which artists’ films, independent cinema and archive footage can be brought outside of the gallery or cinema space and presented in public locations along the UK’s waterways. UP Projects curates and commissions contemporary art for public places; engaging citizens of London, the UK and across the globe. We support artists to make new work that has social relevance, encourages learning and enriches the public sphere.On the Bench is a commission by UP Projects for The Floating Cinema. The commission and The Floating Cinema are supported by Arts Council England’s Strategic Touring Programme, BFI, Film Hub North, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Canal & River Trust, Hull City Council and forms part of Hull City of Culture 2017. The film programme is devised in collaboration with Hull Independent Cinema. A programme of events and activities will be delivered in partnership with Artlink, Crafts Council, Humber Street Gallery, The Ropewalk, Rotherham Open Arts Renaissance, Site Gallery, Swinton Lock Activity Centre, The Point and Yorkshire Waterways Museum. Presented during Hull UK City of Culture 2017
