Kicking off Enchanted Cinemas ‘Music & Movies: The Connection’ Summer Season at The Gonville Hotel in collaboration with repmusic, we are bringing you the two time Oscar winner Ray in the beautiful gardens of The Gonville Hotel.
Legendary soul musician Ray Charles is portrayed by Jamie Foxx in this Oscar-winning biopic. Young Ray watches his 7-year-old brother drown at age seven. When he loses his sight at the age of 9, his hardworking mother (Sharon Warren) urges him not to feel sorry for himself. He rises through the ranks of the Seattle jazz scene, struggling with drug addiction and infidelity while on the road. Supported by his wife (Kerry Washington), Ray Charles redefines soul music and inspires a generation.
“Foxx’s performance is nothing short of amazing, and Hackford’s film overall does fine justice to Charles’ musical legend and legacy” – William Thomas, Empire.
repmusic prides itself of providing the highest level of live music performance, in London and across East Anglia. Offering music from a number of genres, but specialising in jazz, swing, and pop, we’re delighted to have worked together to put together this exciting festival of Music & Movies, where repmusic has specifically chosen acts or performances that represent the music featured in our festival programme.

Expect to be wowed by a short film before each screening, magical light installations and live music from local artists. These events are set to be the most magical of the summer.
Team EC has brought together some of the best street food vendors in Cambridge who will be serving up delicious food for Enchanted Cinema ticket holders and there will be an out-door bar and popcorn kiosk along with live music from local musicians until the screening which will begin at sunset for each film.
Seating is not allocated so be sure to arrive in advance to choose your deckchair. We are a rain or shine event so if the Great British weather surprises us and the skies open, we will have waterproof ponchos available and the show will go on!
Sit back in a deckchair, fresh popcorn and a drink in hand, and experience cinema as you never have before this summer…

The second date in our ‘Music & Movies: The Connection’ festival, Enchanted Cinema in collaboration with repmusic presents Baz Luhrmann’s modern and typically eccentric double Oscar winning adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby.
Midwest native Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire), arrives in 1922 New York in search of the American dream. Nick, a would-be writer, moves in next-door to millionaire Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) across the bay from his cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her philandering husband Tom (Joel Edgerton). Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy and as he bears witness to their illusions and deceits, he pens a tale of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy.
“This is fantastically enjoyable, and a blast. It is wild and rampant and thrilling.”- Deborah Ross, The Spectator

The next date in our ‘Music & Movies: The Connection’ festival, Enchanted Cinema in collaboration with repmusic presents the 1990 Spike Lee hit, Mo’ Better Blues, all with the beautiful backdrop of The Gonville Hotel.
Financially irresponsible Giant (Spike Lee) manages a jazz group, but his sax player, Shadow (Wesley Snipes), wants to replace him with a better businessman. Bleak (Denzel Washington), the band’s trumpeter, then tries to defend his close pal Giant, leading to a power struggle between the two musicians. Meanwhile, as Bleak tries to straighten things out with his bandmates and manager, he also must choose to be with either sweet teacher Indigo (Joie Lee) or sultry singer Clarke (Cynda Williams).
“It’s tight, suspenseful, funny and packed with great music.” – Empire Magazine
