Kino

cinema & Film at maker heights

KINO is a film society based atop Maker Heights, screening films within the community’s own Patchwork Studios venue. Each year, we share a broad range of exciting films, focussing on releases that represent provoking and impressive accomplishments (as well as cult fandom) from all over the world.

Screenings take place once a month, with a programme of rich cinema selected by our team. Doors open an hour before each film begins, allowing for attendees to discuss films and share recommendations, as well as to purchase drinks and popcorn.

Our doors open at 6.30pm on the final Thursday of the month. At 7.30pm, there will be be a short introduction to the film, offering insight into its production and cultural significance, before the film screening begins.

Bookings are made through the Patchwork Studios website. Tickets for each screening are £4,
with under 21s eligible for £2 tickets (and free popcorn).

We set out to support the culture of cinema within our community, seeing a value in the shared experience of watching and discussing films in-person.

Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for individuals where they can feel eager to share their passions and perspectives with others, as well as to encourage the discovery of new films and present them in the best way possible.

If you have any queries or feedback about a screening, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team by emailing cinema@patchwork-studios.co.uk.
