Cinema - Forest Hill / Sydenham Dulwich

[The Film Mill]

Hi Everyone,

We are considering opening a local indpendent cinema in the Forest Hill / Sydenham / Dulwich area and we wanted to discuss the idea with the local residents, hence this post. We are hoping to open something that is somewhat quirky and lively that has an interesting programming schedule not only the usual Hollywood blockbusters. Our aim is for it to become a preferred alternative to Odeon/Cineworld for the locals.

We would really appreciate if you would take the time to fill out a survey by clicking the link below, it is only 10 questions. We really appreciate your time. Also please feel free to comment on this thread as to the type of films you enjoy, locations and any other suggestions you think suitable.

Have a great day,

Many thanks,

The Film Mill Team

Found this a really weird questionnaire as asked about existing cinema habits rather than if there was a cinema nearer?

Me too. I think anywhere local needs to offer something a bit different to attract me away, especially if it isn't Dulwich as it will be further away than Peckham Plex.

It's not going to compete with Peckham Plex on price or Surrey Keys on convenient of having a huge car park, or central London on convenience for meeting friends from other parts of London.

I'd like somewhere that feels a bit more indulgent than the average cinema - can buy a glass of wine and more grown up snacks to take in, not just buckets of popcorn or pic and mix. Give me nuts, olives etc.
