Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.

Andy Parsons Andy Parsons is the Chair of Swindon Climate Action Network (SCAN). Andy became concerned about climate change as a research scientist working in the Arctic and Antarctic - regions where signs of global warming are clearly visible. No longer an active researcher, he has taken a pledge not to fly, travels around town by bike and bus, and takes every opportunity to inform and influence about the climate crisis. SCAN is an independent group of people from across Swindon who are concerned about climate change and want to do something about it. We aim to raise awareness of the impacts of climate change and help people in Swindon to combat it, by encouraging them to reduce their personal carbon emissions and get involved in local and national campaigns. SCAN has had success raising the profile of climate change among the people of Swindon and their representatives. We are currently campaigning on local transport and encouraging people to have lower carbon lifestyles through a growing Transition Swindon movement.

Please note all these details are still provisional, as there's many a slip twixt cup and lip, and nobody's ever pulled off something quite like what we're planning before...
