Did anyone else get the leaflet from Picturehouse through the door today?


They're now proposing to build a cinema near St. Anthony's Church, and there's an exhibition about the proposal at St. Thomas More Hall on 4 and 8 March.


Personally I think it's a great idea - big fan of Picturehouse cinemas.

Hmm, the leaflet I got through the door says this: "Picturehouse cinemas presents its proposals for Dulwich Picturehouse at the historic site of St. Anthony's Church and former St. Anthony's School. Please come along to our informal exhibition at St. Thomas More Hall."


I'm confused now. Is St. Anthony's Church not the one at the end of Barry Road?

Ah right, that makes far more sense.


There's an upload of the leaflet in here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1216470,page=3

This really is incredibly exciting.


And I am SO happy that of the three potential companies, the Picturehouse group have succeeded in their proposal.


I cannot believe that I will be able to walk to the end of the road to see the latest and best films.


Looking forward to visiting their exhibition next week.

And for those without the ability to view the image, here is a transcript of the leaflet:


"Picturehouse Cinemas presents...


its proposals for Dulwich Picturehouse at the historic site of St Anthony's Church and former St Anthony's School.


Please come along to our informal exhibition at St Thomas More Hall, Lordship Lane, SE22.


Tuesday 4 March between 6:30pm and 9:30pm

Saturday 8 March between 10:00am and 1:00pm


We have now started our pre-planning application dialogue with Southwark Council and would love to share our ideas with you.


We look forward to seeing you on one of the above dates - we hope you will be as excited about our plans as we are!


Best wishes


Picturehouse Cinemas"

Going to be great. Instead of a 15 minute walk to Peckham I'll have a 15 minute walk to Lordship Lane.


Or is the cinema in Peckham shutting down?


Love going to the cinema meself, but is there a need for two in such close proximity? Unless the new one is going purely art house or something.

Hi Millhaven,

You killjoy.

East Dulwich with a cinema again. Heaven. My hunch is more people from East Dulwich will go to the cinema when we have a local one. Going over to Brixton is a pain and Peckham one doesn't have a great vibe at 11pm after a film. I also believe that the local eateries will benefit from making an evening of it.


The other great benefit is local children going with parents feeling more relaxed than their offspring trekking over to Brixton or Peckham.

Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
