Central London is about to get a brand-new DIY cinema - entirely funded by film fans
Briefly

London's The Nickel, set to open in Clerkenwell, is a 35-seat cinema dedicated to B-movies and exploitation films. Embracing the grindhouse spirit, it will showcase eclectic films from the silent era to modern favorites, and host Q&As with filmmakers. The venue will include a bar and a media shop selling film-related merchandise. Founder Dom Hicks aims to create a community hub for film enthusiasts, encouraging interactions with novel cinematic experiences and supporting creative projects through screenings and workshops.
The Nickel is an act of defiance against big streamers' belief that the theatrical experience is becoming a thing of the past, aiming to revive cinema love.
The cinema encapsulates the grindhouse spirit by offering bizarre and subversive films, with a focus on community and creative discussions around film.
