Notes :

This film was shot over a 2 month period. I was working at the cinema when one day we were all given a piece of paper saying that Pathe were closing down the cinema. Warner bros had opened a 10 screen multiplex not too far away, 3 months previous.
I consider the film to be overly long, yet i still had lots more i wanted to show. We filmed the actual destruction of the cinema, and one day intend to re-edit this film with more interviews and the destruction footage.
