South Norwood’s Screen25 cinema could close by the end of the year 

posted in: All News, UK | 0

A community-led cinema is facing closure at the end of the year if it does not get more members.

Screen 25 has been running in South Norwood for the past four years.

It started out as Stanley’s Film Club in 2015 at Stanley Halls which grew from a monthly film club to a weekly event.

It relocated and re-branded as Screen 25 in 2017 and now twice-a-week takes over Harris Academy in Cumberlow Avenue.

Led by creative director Katie Brandwood, there is now an army of more than 30 volunteers who keep the cinema running.

It runs on Wednesday and Friday evenings and costs up to £400 a time to put on. To cover the running costs 45 customers are needed per screening.
