Soderbergh Mixes Movies & Bolivian Brandy in London
19 Aug
Summary
- Steven Soderbergh curates film and cocktail series in London.
- Series runs for 63 days, from Sept. 3 to Oct. 30.
- Features films personally and culturally influential to Soderbergh.
Filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is merging his passions for cinema and Bolivian brandy, Singani 63, with a new London event. From September 3 through October 30, the "A Man Under the Influence: 63 Days of Steven Soderbergh's Selects" series will be presented at The Whiteley in London.
This weekly film and cocktail series, hosted by Singani 63 and Everyman cinemas, will showcase nine personally and culturally influential films, one from each decade, curated by Soderbergh. The event follows a successful sold-out program in New York earlier this year.
Each Thursday night begins with a 63-minute happy hour featuring Singani 63 cocktails, followed by a screening. A unique cocktail, inspired by the week's film and created by a top London bar, will be available. Soderbergh will also introduce each film via exclusive video.
Soderbergh's connection to Singani 63 began in 2007 during the filming of "Che." He later partnered with the Granier family, producers of the spirit, to launch Singani 63 in 2009. The series will also introduce the "Spiced Soderbergh Sour," a bespoke cocktail available at all 49 Everyman cinemas nationwide starting in late September.
