RTR, the article you posted a link to is American cinema.
Here's another stance on it - apparently 35mm was due to all but disappear in 2011 - maybe it has, maybe all new films are digital, but it appears cinemas are still capable of showing 35mm films.
There is, of course the chance that 'old' films have been digitalised - you know, like we do with old photo's.

Sadly they don't have subtitles for All the offerings though...

Sounds like a great idea Shirley, hope you get to see many more movies over the years and a lovely cuppa as well :-)

They had better get on with it then as all of the major chains plan to do away with 35mm film projection. Anything not digitised ( i.e. not in the collection of Netflix et al ) will disappear from view except at the handful of UK art cinemas or occasional screenings at the BFI. "The Titchfield Thunderbol" and "Passport to Pimlico" tend not to be high in the art cinema list though they like, for instance, Hitchcock, Carol Reed and Bunuel none of whose names evoke tea and bicuits..

Even in France where the cinema is heavily subsided lots of wonderful places have gone.

I agree, it's a brilliant idea. :-D

Never heard of it but have recently made a lovely friend through our local U3A and she asked if I would like to go to the cinema with her

She said it's the silver screen and went on to explain the local
Odeon does it on Tuesday and Thursdays morning and afternoon and it's £3 entrance which includes tea or coffee and biscuits

What a great idea . Gets older folks out and at a price they can afford

We saw Finding Your Feet starring Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie . Timothy Spall . Included lots of other familiar older stars like Joanna Lumley

Great film would recommend it

Will certainly be going again ;-) :-)
