130 Years of Cinema
Join us as we celebrate 130 years of the moving image in Britannia Panopticon Music Hall. We will be showing the very first films that flickered into life on the screen of the music hall on August 25th 1896. Admission is free, but we hope that you will leave a donation to support the conservation campaign. The films will be accompanied by live music performed by Gilmour Macleod and Lawrence Dunn. Please note, these short films were made in 1896 when attitudes were very different. The following is the very first advertisement for the films in Britannia Music Hall:
