ARENA
CINERAMAGEDDON is a five day film festival within the festival, curated by director Julien Temple, a new kind of rock ‘n’ roll cinema attitude, outside and under the stars.
Rising out of the Arthurian mists of Avalon and the world famous Glastonbury mud, CINERAMAGEDDON is a unique post-apocalyptic and nocturnal ambience in which to watch an unforgettable program of films in ways never seen or dreamt of before.
Watch must see movies with legendary renegade movie guests stars in a unique sculpture field courtesy of artist Joe Rush featuring an auditorium of sixty mutated vintage American and British cars, repurposed funfair rides and a Lear jet.
Presented by event and film producer Stephen Malit, the 2000 capacity CINERAMAGEDDON will run from Wednesday night through to dawn on Monday – a midsummer movie explosion that will take the audience on a thrilling cinematic journey through the Glastonbury night and out the other side.
