AND LIFE WENT ON

Our first ticketed event with special guest Maryam Mohajer and featuring an anthology screening of work by London Animation Club stalwarts at the Garden Cinema, 39-41 Parker Street London WC2B 5PQ.

Due to a gas leak at the cinema on 16th September, the original day of the screening, our event got cancelled about 15 minutes before scheduled curtain time. However, the cinema staff were all really great throughout and filmmakers and guests adjourned to the Wetherspoons across the road.

Were you there? Our bemused audience sheltering at the fire point across the road from the Garden Cinema.
