A family favorite from calling them west college oh and we're going to play you again extraordinary. Events that occurred with a series of conch shells in our studio yes that I I'm still shaking my head as the was sore and I would and you can see it in here as well and I'll tell you how a bit later. So we got Byron Wallen on common cheese. Calling in West Allis Chinese families favorite would. You go live music. What more could you possibly. Told you was good. You don't need to leave the house not in a day like this. Unfortunately I've got to go to w 12. Well I have very very bizarre evening out yesterday. Because it was Valentine's Day. You know my wife and I are a bit long in the tooth for romantic candlelit dinners exorbitant prices in restaurants where everyone squeezed in and whatever but nor did I nor did I even have a frenzy cooking We'd been a bit busy during the day so we said let's just go and what some do something we often do which is to go and in our favorite Vietnamese restaurant overinsured it we hadn't booked but we figured it was not a sort of it's not an especially romantic restaurant it's not the place I would have thought that would be to have loads of couples in it and it didn't have loads of couples in it so we drove over shortage and I decided traffic trying to get across town yesterday 6 that you need new mists Robel but we got there and we did drive our continent. And we got we we got to the rest of the 7th day and it was one of the most bizarre events I've ever been to this was I want to say the name of it but it was one of those that you know there's a whole line of Vietnamese restaurants in shortage isn't there and I always go to the same one as a dish couple dishes in it we both absolutely love when we regulars and it's not expensive and it's not fancy but is really good and where the restaurant was absolutely packed Thankfully they had one table for 2 left for us in the corner but it wasn't packed with couples it was an entire the entire I could only ascertain was the entire congregation of an evangelical church but all dressed to the 9 all the men in dinner suits all the women in really wonderful gowns everybody looked fantastic and they all had hearts because it was Valentine's Day and flowers and they were celebrating Valentine's Day. But they were celebrating Valentine's Day And you know each to their own Mrs I thought it was wonderful not a criticism but it was all speeches about Jesus and God and how much they love Jesus and everyone was I learned your ring and we see it Mary. Essentially in the middle of a of an evangelical coke going about their business I mean it was sort of wonderful it was mad it was only in London and and it was I always think it is this normal on Valentine's Day The people are a lot better primarily love Jesus is their 1st love go and celebrate by the dinner with I didn't know what was going to go and the people in the restaurant were very known plus the Vietnamese people for me the Valentine's Day nor evangelical Christianity where their 1st thoughts were completely. You know I mean there was a lot of value in going to tell you that Albert was great I always say forgiveness is fantastic entertaining and these amazing lovely people I mean really nice people but Joy I mean all the men in tuxedoes and bugs always and all the women he ballgowns kill did not get praise for those sort and so but I just bring Rose I'll tell you. That's the last hours in shiver and shake. Her should go to the cinema perhaps we should go to the cinema or in Bedford because you can but you couldn't because it didn't have one which is why I'm now talking to Louis Holder who's won a. London Eye because he's one of the volunteers at the Deptford cinema and he's here to tell us more Louis tell us more hello how did you kids how did this whole project come about so it came about in May 2014 after a successful successful Kickstarter campaign that happened after people kind of got together and thought let's make a community arts value let's make something really exciting that involves a lot of different people let's make something affordable accessible inclusive that because that's what happened I said I'm Irish one of the only reason at Lewisham I was right and I have a cinema Yeah that is right and so it came about and then 2014 happened 2015 happened and all these years later we're still here still showing great films live music events gallery showcases all sorts where are you took us or where are you based in one place so we're based in one place one venue just on the right from Deptford bridge d.l.r. Station and also. Nearby to New Cross as well so we're kind of in the epicenter and up at High Street and what your home what was the building before it was a cinema so it was fun and I'm aware of the disused shop fronts for about 1520 years I think that was literally just a shell and it was I think it was an off license at some point yeah and so it's just a normal shot from the edge of the conventional kind of commercial space and then it got transformed into the cinema that it is today and when we talk about cinema I mean I mean I mean visiting a grand. Staircase is a nice means and all of them presume it isn't there it's definitely not that but it has so much more charm and I have to say it's beautiful it's this kind of sort of some of the venue that is what very beautiful and the past is 40 right so 40 downstairs at times of seating we've got loads more upstairs in the bar area in terms of like you know you can just chill much of film and be at the bar as well upstairs so and how does it work is it just think well I want to go to see the film and showing their moods or not or do you have to be a member or you don't remember now anyone can come and so really happy actually we're trying out this pay what you can scheme at the moment so it's completely accessible affordable to everyone and so we're trying to make it is extremely inclusive as possible so people can just walk in off the street and yet it's really really cool and what's the role of the volunteers in all of this because you're one of those aren't there yet so the volunteers we meet every Sunday 11 o'clock so meeting tomorrow for instance and then we talk about things affecting some are the moments we can invite you volunteers and really anyone to get involved in programming and all of that yet so I help program got a lot of stuff so yeah so help with the short film nights and do lots of lots of things like that but our programming is quite diverse Do you have a background in cinema is that your kind of is that what you do for work life so I actually just recently graduated from university in film just at university Westminster just around the world around the corner so it's kind of perfect for you in that sense yeah yeah I love it I think it's a home away from home. I love it and I just yeah it's pretty my favorite place to be actually and is it so financing or do or do you guys have to help pay for I mean how does that work I don't talk about. That so yes yeah it is financing so we're really lucky that we have quite a few donations coming in from people that come through but it's ticket sales and really we don't have any outside funding and so we're completely people run from the ground up and do you on the property or your you have a lease on it or what's the situation there. Just what I'm just nervous Yeah no that's the right. Yeah so I'm not quite sure actually about that I think it's kind of it's a community interest company so it's kind of owned collectively but I'm not sure about the admin side of things I'm just interested in the creative programming aspect and is there always room for more volunteers there's always room for more volunteers is it yes there is yet so people can just get involved they can go online to deficit org and find out more about us they're in something they can just turn up if they want to an event and this is also a model that could be done elsewhere so if there's people sitting in bits of London that aren't well cinematically served do you think they could do this there yes absolutely yeah I think helped to kind of spring up quite a few senilis so in also around in the neighborhood as well communities in a Mars also yet of this new developments as well happening in the area but things like as of are the result of d.c. Kind of coming along we've had current Goldsmiths down the road that's not coming cinema so to speak but but it's still great that it's kind of inspired this or cinematic influx in the neighborhood but also we have a membership with cinema for all as well so we regularly go each year this is a kind of body that represents commutes and miles across the country and so we regularly talk to people from different communities and we have different audiences who actually help other places as well so it's a really it's a lovely collective of people who just really have a grassroots interest in film and the idea was on this weekend oh well I know that I know that yes there have been times they we had to question his 1st love which happened which was a new release as well so are. We were lucky to have gotten that film and yeah I give you some more info because I've just been told you are going to be showing Machinima a life in 4 chapters from 1905 to Japanese film isn't it yeah and then you've got a labyrinth eighty's party on Friday February 25th the day that's what are you coming back oh yea I'm always big. Yeah you got a labyrinth id's part you voted for Green 21st and that's a fundraiser I believe is a fundraiser that's for all traveling cinema projects was to tell me about that the trappings of my project is something that we were very lucky to have one funding from about a year and a half ago from film by media and that was a funds to basically help deliver travelling said m r 2 different people in the camera's homes activity centers kind of across southeast London and that's been really helpful and really great receives that's pretty much one or 2 screens a month for the moment and that's basically a portal project and it's a portable kind of system where we can show films to everyone really about south side of our venue so it's great fantastic give us the website addressing. A dot that said I'm Our dot org And we've been hearing about that from Louis holder Louis thank you very very much yes. In woman new. At Electric Light Orchestra l.
