Forthcoming Visits & Events

The Cinema Theatre Association organises visits to cinemas and theatres, past and present, across the UK and overseas. Lectures and other events feature in our programme of activities too.

There are in-person events which are usually for members only, and also online events which can be enjoyed by anyone, although members pay less for their tickets - so why not join us to enjoy all the benefits of CTA membership?

AN IN-PERSON EVENT

PARIS CINEMAS - THE DISAPPEARANCE

plus CTA PRE-CHRISTMAS SOCIAL GET-TOGETHER

An illustrated talk by Jean-Francois Chaput

Saturday December 9th at 5.30pm (Doors open 5.00pm)

at The Gallery, Alan Baxter and Associates, 75 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EL

Organised by Ken Roe

In 1982 Jean-Francois was working as a projectionist and was a keen photographer. He had noted the rapid decline of single-screen cinemas and decided to photograph them throughout the city and research their history. Astonishingly, in the following 10 years, Paris lost over 200 single-screen cinemas. This talk will celebrate many of those lost buildings with original photography and Jean-Francois' own research.

He has also published a book on the subject, 'Paris Cines 1982-1992 des Disparaissent'. Some copies will be available to purchase on the evening - £28 cash only (or from Amazon.co.uk.)

The talk will be followed by the CTA's pre-Christmas social get-together where we will add to the festive occasion by showing a vintage Christmas cartoon and travelogue, and (time permitting) a short quiz to test your knowledge about our cinema heritage.

The evening will conclude with refreshments of wine, soft drinks, and seasonal fare...
We look forward to you joining us.
