1.1 Written report on the range and types of creative and media activity in the Southbank

The Imax… What else is there to say it has a ‘state-of-the-art, large-format’ cinema on the expressive original, creative inspiring area of South Bank. When you walk into the cinema you look around the huge room with Its 500 seats, and a screen that is more than 20 meters high (that’s nearly the height of 5 double-decker buses!) and 26 meters wide, with an 11,600-watt digital surround sound system. It is said that all these things working together ‘immerse viewers in larger-than-life images and ultra-realistic digital sound making them feel as if they are literally in the picture’. And of course I have to agree the cinema is truly a work of art; you will not find another place like it. The cinema was opened in 1999 and cost a whooping 15 million pounds – but it was worth it – that they got from the Arts council of England’s Lottery Fund. They have a lot of films running at the Imax with allot of them I 3D therefore making the Imax experience even better. The films there run for different lengths, some for only 2 weeks but others for a month. So go to the Imax website now and see what’s on, you will not regret the experience.
The Imax can be found at 1 Charlie Chaplin Walk, South Bank, Waterloo, and London, SE1 8XR
