About the Blog

This blog exists as a living record of Rio Forever, our year-long celebration of 50 years of community-run cinema at the Rio Cinema.

It is a space to document the stories, screenings, people and ideas that shape the Rio: past, present and future.

By sharing memories, archive material and reflections as the programme unfolds, the blog helps preserve the cinema’s collective history while opening up conversations about what a community cinema can and should be for the next 50 years.

Long live the Rio!
