Hackney Independent’s Peter Sutton discusses possible future films with the audience…
Last week Hackney Independent organised two screenings of the film “Garfield”. Both shows werea great success. On Wednesday morning 20 children from Whiston & Goldsmiths came and Hackney Independent members were ably assisted by two members of the local tenant association.
The Thursday afternoon screening on the Geffrye Estate was our biggest ever, with 36 kids and a lot of parents in attendance. Good discussions were had at both events with parents about issues on their estates and with kids about what films they would like to see at future Independent Kids Cinema events.

Report: Kids Cinema Events
Posted: August 30, 2004 Filed under: Community Facilities, Events Comments Off on Report: Kids Cinema Events
All of the kids who attended our showings of the film “Monsters Inc.” at Haggerston and Goldsmiths had an excellent time, and it was great to see so many adults volunteering to help out. The numbers were less than we had expected at both events, these being the first to take place on a Saturday. We shall be returning to mid-week showings again, and are currently planning further dates for later on in the year. Watch this space…

Hackney Independent Kids Cinema – most successful yet!
Posted: June 17, 2004 Filed under: Community Facilities, Events Comments Off on Hackney Independent Kids Cinema – most successful yet!The Hackney Independent Kids’ Cinema is a series of film shows put on for local kids in community centres, with the help and support of Tenants Associations.
Over the recent half term holiday, we put on showings of “Finding Nemo” at Goldsmith’s and Haggerston Estates. The events were the most successful yet, with over 80 kids attending.
The IWCA has always made a point of getting involved in the local community. We argue that young people need more facilities and more investment in their future, and that working class areas have suffered most with council cutbacks. These events are one way for us to put our money where our mouth is.

Kids Cinemas Success to be Repeated
Posted: June 14, 2003 Filed under: Community Facilities, Events Comments Off on Kids Cinemas Success to be RepeatedOver the last half term holiday, Hackney IWCA put on two kids cinema events with the support of Goldsmith’s and Geffrye Estate Tenants Associations. The events were a great success, pulling in over 60 children in total on what turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year.
For their 50p entry charge, all those present received a bag of crisps and a drink and a showing of Harry Potter, The Philosopher’s Stone. Thanks to the success of the events and the feedback from kids, parents and the TA members who came along and got involved, we’ve decided to run future events in the summer holiday, expanding the showings to reach other estates.
Geffrye Estate – under the spell of Harry Potter
