7 rooms

01

Kino London (Short Film Open Screen)

The bill is different every single month by design, and watching a room react honestly to work made by the person standing next to you never gets old.

RecurringShoreditch (Strongroom Bar)Good alone

02

Category H Film Club

You follow it like a season, not a listing. Each month's pairing is a small argument about the Rio's archive, and the crowd comes back to see the next move.

RecurringDalston (Rio Cinema)Good alone

03

Ciné-Real

It is a residency, not a listing. Same pair, same projector, a print introduced with love each month, and a crowd that treats celluloid like a small religion.

RecurringHackney (The Castle Cinema)Good alone

04

The Nickel

The programme turns over constantly, with a real film print at least weekly and recurring mystery screenings, so regulars treat it like a repertory habit.

RecurringClerkenwellGreat alone

05

Wimbledon Film Club

Twenty-plus films a season in a comfortable cinema with the same faces in the same seats. It quietly becomes your fortnight's fixed point.

RecurringWimbledon (Curzon)Good alone

06

African Odysseys (Black History Walks)

Twenty years of programming has built an audience that comes back for the conversation, and each month surfaces films you will not find on any streaming service.

07

Tufnell Park Film Club

Twenty pounds a year makes every Tuesday a default rather than a decision, and the programming swings from Satrapi to seventies thrillers so the habit never goes stale.
