London's cinemas worth crossing town for: the repertory and arthouse houses, the picture palaces kept going, the one IMAX, and the rooms above pubs and behind bars where the programme is somebody's taste. What is showing is listed under each cinema, and in What's On.
What is showing this week is in What's On: Film
Forty seats, a cafe, and a lending library of twenty-six thousand films.
Repertory & seasonsLate
The library is the reason to know about it. Twenty-six thousand titles, weighted towards early cinema, world cinema, documentary, experimental film and video art, including rare things held nowhere else and work by filmmakers no distributor represents, alongside books on theory, criticism, practice, history and biography. Members borrow from it, and the online archive carries Vertigo, the film journal founded in 1993, in full.
The cinema beside it has run since 2005 and programmes the films that shaped the art rather than the ones out this week, often with the filmmaker there to talk about them. Forty seats, space for two wheelchairs, digital projection and surround sound. The cafe and bar sit in the middle of it, where the films and the books can be got at over a coffee deliberately blended in the older European style rather than the current one.
Open 12:00 to 23:30 every day; the library closes at 20:00.
