Ah, memories. A step on the pedal, the trap opens, the squirrel runs away. It was the 80s, and I was trying to catch rodents in my replica Ghostbuster Ghost Trap. And failing. Still, nothing bought me more joy than those trips to ‘Video Wow’ and the weekly rental of all things Peter, Ray, Winston and Egon. I even had a grey knitted top with the famous Ghostbuster logo on it. Back then, knitted tops were the norm. Now it’s all hoodies and flick knives…
Anyway, picture my excitement when I received news that Ghostbusters is going to be shown on the big screen once more. HOORAH! It’s all part of the Frijj Film Festival, where a whole host of top films will be shown in all their glory, over a six week period, in Carlton cinemas across the capital.
A total of 27 films will be shown from August 14th, and as an added incentive they’re going to be absolutely free to see. Which is like, brilliant and fantastic all rolled into one. Um, brilltastic? As well as Ghostbusters, recent films including Kill Bill, Snatch, and Shaun of the Dead will be shown alongside timeless classics such as Scarface, the Godfather, Blade Runner, and Jaws.
The festival will be kicking off with back-to-back viewings of Lord of the Rings at a glitzy red carpet event at the Covent Garden Odeon. Those wishing to attend screenings are asked to register on the Frijj Film Festival website from July 14th.
Check out the video (below) from the Frijj Film Festival’s viral campaign. The viral films are set in a small 1950s town in America, where a massive blob of Frijj goop is terrorizing the local community. There’s a whole series of them that you can find on the official website. This one's our favourite because it features old people using zimma frames. Ha! Poor helpless fools.
