Over the last decade, our award-winning and Time Out featured Stow Film Lounge, has entertained audiences with over 500 films, across 40 venues and reached 30,000 people (and counting) throughout Waltham Forest and beyond. Founded by former Museum of The Moving Image (MOMI) actors, now respectively a film journalist and filmmaker - our unmistakably independent programming for the people, sees a b

ack catalogue of Steven Spielberg and Sergei Eisenstein rubbing shoulders with Ava DuVernay and Celine Sciamma, as well as talent like John Maclean (Slow West), Robin Hardy (The Wicker Man), Jemima Dury (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll), Adam Pearson (Under The Skin), Jo Robinson (Misbehaviour) and Gregers Sall (Senna) dropping by to join us in conversation. With a unique take on the cinema experience, from Arthouse to Marvel, whether it be regular reinterpretations of classic film posters accompanying each screening or our Cycle-In Cinema or creating our own films and documentaries like The Tricycle Thief and Take The High Road, we continue to bring cinema right to the heart of communities everywhere.

THE CHORAL. An incredible film that gets ★★★★ from The Guardian.

Set in Yorkshire during the First World War, this quietly powerful film follows a choir rebuilding after its men leave for the front, with teenage boys stepping into their place under a demanding new chorus master, played by Ralph Fiennes. As conscription looms, music becomes a way for the community to hold itself together.
