Ciné-Real

Ciné-Real is the only film club in the UK to exclusively play films in 16mm format. The film night is run by Director Liam Saint-Pierre and Projectionist, Ümit Mesut, of Ümit & son.

Why 16mm? There's something about the feel of analog that you just don’t get with digital. It’s like the difference between sitting in front of an open fire compared to a radiator. They chose 16mm over 35mm as it was easier to get the prints. There are also lots on super 8mm, but they’re often abridged and come on 8 reels!

Cine-Real presents: When Harry Met Sally

I'll have what she's having Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) first meet as strangers sharing a drive from Chicago to New York. Over the years their lives intersect through chance encounters and long conversations as they debate love friendship and whether men and women can ever truly be just friends. What begins as wary companionship slowly deepens into something more complicated and heartfelt. One of the finest rom-coms of all time, directed by the late & great Rob Reiner. Catch on 16mm colour film.

Cine-real presents: Casablanca

"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine" It's the early days of the second World War and Rick (Humphrey Bogart) is a nightclub owner - amongst other less savoury business interests - happy to play both sides. And then Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) walks back into his life. Danger, mystery, intrigue and heartbreak... truly one of the most iconic films ever made. Ciné-Real is one of the only film clubs in the UK to exclusively play films from original 16mm prints. They are a non-profit organisation which aims to unite film makers and enthusiasts in their appreciation of classic film.
