Finch Community Cinema

Finch Community Cinema is a curator-led film programme running out of Finch Cafe/Restaurant, a Middle Eastern street food cafe and natural wine bar on Sidworth Street in London Fields, Hackney. Screenings take place in the cafe itself, with food and drinks served throughout, and tickets operate on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale.

The programme is put together by guest artists and emerging curators, with a focus on experimental and avant-garde cinema, silent films with live scores, thematic short film programmes, and documentary and essay film. Many events include an introduction from the programmer and a post-screening discussion. The cinema uses Humanitix for ticketing specifically because the platform channels its profits to charitable causes.
