Call for home movies!

The Rio Cinema, Kingsland Road, Dalston

The Rio Cinema in Dalston is celebrating its 100th anniversary with an ambitious new community project that will make archive film more accessible to local audiences.

As part of the project, the Rio is especially interested in any home movies local residents may have hidden away. These films are a rich source of memories, and key to unlocking and accessing our pasts.

Towards the end of the year the Rio will be hosting a special ‘Home Movie’ screening day, where residents will have the opportunity to bring along their film reels and view them on screen.

Furthermore, the Rio is able to digitise this material – so it can be played and enjoyed again and again at home on DVD.

If you have any old film footage at home, or would just like to know more about the project, please contact Jemma at the Rio: email jemma@riocinema.org.uk  or phone 020 7241 9419.
