Topics:

• PECKHAM CINEMA

Marianne Gray, former chair of the Film Critics Circle and now a director of the newly independent PeckhamPlex (ex-Multiplex), writes to GOTR to say:

"We intend to update PeckhamPlex to be fully digital in the New Year and turn one of the six screens into a sort of film club, playing foreign films, art house films and alternative fare like opera, live football, a Sunday with the three Godfather films screened, all kinds of wonderful and interesting stuff.

"Your Groucho members sound so like the audience we would like to attract to this new development. I would be happy to put any members on our email circuit to get our weekly screening programme."

Wednesday, Nov 17th, 6.30: Meantime, students from the Chelsea School of Art have a documentary festival of 16 shorts they shot in Peckham, £1.99 entrance at PeckhamPlex, and afterwards in the bar at the Bussey building.
