The initiative follows new research from Vue and University College London that revealed a few hours in front of the big screen can optimise brain function, social connections, productivity and creativity. These findings have been launched in conjunction with Vue’s Get Lost campaign, which encourages viewers to fully switch off and immerse themselves in the full big screen experience.
