London’s BFI IMAX is to open a new bar in mid-November.

The bar will be located on the first floor.

The 445-seat auditorium IMAX is also bringing back its evening programming strand called After Dark this autumn, beginning with two horror films – The Hills Have Eyes and Hostel – for Halloween.

After Dark films will either be shown in the last evening slot, beginning at either 8pm or 9pm, or as part of an all-night event, similar to the recent IMAX Lord of the Rings trilogy all-nighter.

Films will be shown in the original 35mm format, using traditional cinema projection, with the image filling around one third of the screen. Details: www.bfi.org.uk
