# Clandestine cinema
The instructions arrive in an email: meet at a certain place, usually
totally random, such as an estate on the outskirts of Prague or some
industrial off-space. There's a strict dress code faithful to the movie
plot; if you call yourself a film buff, you'll be pretty certain about
the title of the film that you're going to see. If the concept sounds
familiar, it's because it's borrowed from the British enterprise
**Secret Cinema**, which brings mystery movies to unusual locations
around London and the UK.
Last time I took part at Cinema Royal (the Prague
version of Secret Cinema), we were led by limping flesh-eating zombies
through one of the ugliest Prague estates into a suburbian shopping
mall, where the slightly shocked shoppers were exposed to a bunch of
weirdos eager to find out where exactly is their ad-hoc cinema (it was
on the first floor of the said mall). We were going to see the cult
classic Dawn of the Dead.
This time, on Friday **23 September 2011,** the journey starts at
SmÃchov train station. Guests must arrive clad in black formal wear with
a hint of gold on it. What's more, you can also win a real gold bar,
which might come handy these days.
Check out the zombie trail I took part in.
