Repertory seasons, new releases and one-off screenings at London's independent cinemas.
London has one of the richest independent cinema cultures in the world — repertory houses showing 35mm prints, microcinemas in railway arches, members' clubs with their own programmers, and museum cinemas with archives most cities can only envy. These are the screenings worth crossing town for: restorations, director Q&As, themed seasons, and the kind of films the multiplexes never touch.
