The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future in this final film in the series.

On September 25th the Riverside will be 110 years old and we would like you to join us on the evening of Saturday 27th to celebrate with a look back at film from the Riverside archive along with a few recently filmed interviews with Pat Betts, Stuart Saunders and Tina Wiseman.

Our current manager, Neil, and Technical assistant, Will, have for the past few years been working on researching the cinema’s history and collecting all the material together to make a book (available on the evening!), a documentary and a page on our website to record our history.

Tonight will be a special birthday celebration of our little cinema/theatre and we’d be delighted to share its past with you.

On the edge of Chinatown stands the only independent cinema left in Central London. Grey and black, dotted with poster frames, and lit by an overhanging readograph, its presence is tucked away from the other,  brighter multiplexes of Leicester Square. There, within its small interior, a team of ushers push through the day.

Based on the real-life experiences and stories from those that work at the Prince Charles Cinema, Fil Freitas - a former usher turned manager himself - has put together a feature length comedy drama that  follows a day in the life of its hapless employees. During their shift they watch movies, argue with customers, and above all, deal with each other.
