Proudly the “antithesis of the multiplex”, for more than a decade we have been touring our Time Out featured mobile repertory cinema through Waltham Forest and beyond, showing over 600 films at 40 venues to 35,000 people in the process.
Started as Stow Film Lounge in 2011 to bring regular commercial screenings back to the Waltham Forest (which at the time was one of only two London Boroughs to have no regular operating cinema) we bought kit, sourced venues and started programming. From Saturday morning kids’ pictures to silent cinema with live orchestra to outdoor screenings to one off cult movie events with Q&As, we deliver diverse bespoke audience screenings but also hit the spot with mainstream blockbusters, both in our home Borough and beyond.
