If you’ve ever meandered down Angel’s fashionable high-street, you’ll no doubt have noticed the retro-style cinema, Screen on the Green.

The picture house stands out as one of London’s coolest, offering comfy sofa seating, in-screen pizza eating and, of course, the catchiest of names.

But today, this Everyman Cinema branch stands out, or stands up we should say, for a very different reason.

Screen on the Green has paused every single one of its film showings to make a stand in the name of mental health.

The film ban is supporting Time to Talk Day, a UK-wide event organised by mental health awareness organisation, Time to Change, and led by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.

Time to Talk Day aims to change the stigma around mental health by asking people “to talk, to listen and to change lives” by speaking more openly about mental illness for 24 hours.

The campaign encourages the public to “have your own conversation – wherever you are”, something Screen on the Green is keen to facilitate by opening up their venue as a platform to do so.
