The popular outdoor cinema will make a welcome return this summer.

Sure has confirmed that following the success of Midsummer Magic, which took place each year from 2005 to 2008, it will be screening more than 20 films at Cobo from 21 – 27 August.

‘Sure Big Screen will be one of the island’s biggest free community events and we are delighted that we are able to bring outdoor cinema back to Guernsey,’ said Sure’s chief executive Eddie Saints.

‘Sure is proud to serve the whole community and we see this event as being something that islanders of all ages can enjoy. In 2008, more than 6,000 people watched the films and we have no doubt that even more will come down this August. It’s going to be a great week but we now need help from people to help us decide which films to show.’

For the first time, islanders are being given the opportunity to suggest which films should be shown at Sure Big Screen. On each of the seven days, three films will be shown and Sure wants islanders to nominate which films will be in the final 21 by emailing their suggestions to surebigscreen@cwgsy.net

‘We want Sure Big Screen to be an event that involves islanders from the very beginning which is why we are asking them to tell us which films they want to see. We are looking for a wide range of films from family favourites and timeless classics to action packed thrillers and entertaining romantic comedys,’ said Mr Saints.

‘Obviously there may be some films that we simply can’t show due to licensing restrictions but we’re hoping that we can put together a schedule that has something for everyone.’

Film suggestions need to be emailed to surebigscreen@cwgsy.net by Wednesday 29 February 2012 to give Sure sufficient time to gain the necessary permissions. The full programme for Sure Big Screen will be announced closer to the event.
