The line-up for this year’s Film4 Summer Screen — the world’s only properly good outdoor film program — has just been announced and as ever, it’s awash with brilliance. Better yet, this year’s season is the longest yet, running a Westminster-council-upsetting fourteen nights. I dare you to process the following words without weeping:

David Gordon Green’s Prince Avalanche and Sundance favourite The Way Way Back will both have their UK premieres at Summer Screen, while the Opening Night screening of new Richard Curtis joint About Time — which looks a bit shit but does at least have Domhnall Gleeson in it — is what’s known in the industry as a ‘world first’.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday for Somerset House members and two days after that for the proles. It’s not for me to tell you what to book, but the teen movie triple seems as good a place as any to start.
