An experiment that began last year and in its sophomore edition has blossomed into a well-oiled virtual event, each film (see list) below will hold a maximum “seating capacity” of 500 virtual places/seat holders for world cinephiles (read the full description of the service). Among the dozen or so films from the Orizzonti section and a selected trio films from the new Biennale College are the make-up of Web Theatre programme and to help promote the event, we’re holding a contest – five lucky readers will get to watch Pavilion‘s Tim Sutton’s (an IONCINEPHILE of the Month featured filmmaker) spanking new film: Memphis (see trailer below). The screening opens Saturday evening 9pm Venice time, and the first five folks to tweet the following: #memphis along with @ioncinema will win a spot.
