10 Independent Cinemas- Task 6

The Rio, Burnham-on-Crouch. Previously called The Electric Kinema, built in 1910. They aim to show movies whilst delivering them at the lowest for customers. Recently it has been showing massive films like Deadpool which increases popularity of the cinema. It also includes only 2 screens with a total of 280 seats and is known for being the cheapest in the county (Essex). 

Genesis in London was opened in 1848 after being turned from a pub into a music hall. They do show recent mainstream movies like Deadpool but also less recognised films and even old movies. The fact they do this distinguishes the difference between the two which may appeal to different audiences. Prices between Odean and Genesis are not particularly different but Genesis does have a bar, gallery and kitchen. 

The Cornerhouse in Manchester was an old furniture shop only to be transformed into a cross-media area. It includes three screens, three galleries, a café, bookshop and a bar guaranteeing something interesting is always going on there. It is known for the being one of the best independent cinemas and also the Hollywood films it shows. It even held the UK première for Reservoir Dogs and is the home of film festival 'Viva'. 

BFI Southbank in London was known as the 'National Film Theatre' from 1951 to 2007. With membership perks, cheap Tuesdays, and agenda setting film seasons it has its own unique style compared to mainstream cinemas like Odean and Cineworld. The complex now includes a studio,  gallery space, a shop, and a bar and restaurant run by Benugo.
