EE treated students from a rural school in the UK to the world’s first 4G cinema in the sky experience, suspended 100 feet in the air above a former RAF base.
The extraordinary film screening marks the return of 4GEE Cinema, a series of free 4G-powered outdoor film screenings bringing BAFTA-winning films to rural communities.
The twenty lucky flying school students were raised high above the South Downs to enjoy a sunset screening. The buzz of popcorn delivering drones filled the skies as the students were strapped into their cinema seats before being elevated 100 feet in the air.
EE plans to further 4GEE Cinema screenings to more places throughout October, helping to bring big screen outdoor cinema to rural communities across the UK. Film lovers up and down the country could be in with a chance to win a 4GEE Cinema experience, complete with big screen viewing, popcorn, pick ‘n mix and a choice of BAFTA-winning films for up to 40 people.

Over the next month we are going to be travelling thousands of miles to areas we’ve recently switched on with 4G, to deliver unforgettable experiences to those communities, only possible over our award winning 4G network. As part of our ongoing partnership with BAFTA, we constantly challenge ourselves on how to bring film to new audiences using the power of our network, and 4GEE Cinema is a great example of doing just that.
