Twenty seats. One film.

One film a week. Seven nights. Twenty chairs, one of them yours.No trailers, no adverts, no choice. The lights go down at half past seven, and after the credits they stay down for a minute, which is the part people come back for.

01 · The room

Twenty. Then it's full.

Four rows of five. Every seat sees the whole screen. When the twentieth goes, the night is sold out, and it stays that way; we don't add chairs, and we don't stand at the back.

Monday. The first night.Whoever comes on Monday has usually seen it before somewhere else and wants to see it here. They sit at the back. They know what's coming.
A small cinema, empty, the screen glowing white above dark seats

A minute of dark after the credits.

The lights don't come up when the film ends. They come up sixty seconds later. Nobody talks. Nobody checks a phone; there's nothing to see by. It's the only rule people ever thank us for.

Book a seat.

Pick a night. Twenty seats each. When they're gone we'll say so, and there's a returns list that moves on the night, from seven, at the door.
