My local outdoor cinema

There was an outdoor cinema as part of the Stockton Heath festival (where I live) which I attended. They played the film, Up (Pixar), catering to a broad number of visitors. Despite being shown on TV and easily available on DVD, there were hundreds of people willing to pay a small fee for charity and sit on the field.
