The Rio Cinema is a Grade II listed independent Art Deco cinema in east London. It is a popular single-screen cinema located on Kingsland High Street in Dalston, with a history stretching back over 100 years.〔Peter Beech, (''Cine-files: Rio, Dalston, London'' ), theguardian.com, 21 June 2011, retrieved 9 September 2014〕 The Rio was named one of London's best cinemas by the ''Daily Telegraph''〔Oliver Smith, (''London's best cinemas and filming locations'' ), telegraph.co.uk, 21 August 2014, retrieved 9 September 2014〕 and best cinema bars by the ''Evening Standard''.〔Phoebe Luckhurst, (''London's best cinema bars'' ), ''Evening Standard'', 10 January 2014, retrieved 9 September 2014〕 ==About== The programme usually includes one main feature film each week, chosen by general manager Charles Rubinstein and head projectionist Peter Howden. These range from arthouse to blockbusters. There is usually a Saturday late show, Tuesday playcentre matinees for children, and regular Parents and Babies screenings. The Rio also works with programming partners such as Cigarette Burns Cinema and the Fringe! Gay Film Fest. It also hosts film festivals including the annual Turkish Film Festival, which began at the cinema in 1994. As a charity, the cinema undertakes cultural outreach through cut-price tickets for the children's Saturday Picture Club, schools events, and a monthly classic matinee for over-60s. In 2008 an estimated 12,000 children passed through the doors as a result of partnerships with schools. The building is open 364 days a year, with over 1300 screenings annually. The stalls on the ground floor seat 188, and the circle (open on busy days) seats 214. The cafe serves popcorn, crisps, sweets, chocolate, soft drinks, samosas, cake, Monmouth coffee, wine and beer.〔〔〔Richard Welbirg, (''A grand history of the Rio'' ), ''Hackney Citizen'', 26 October 2009, retrieved 9 September 2014〕〔Emma Bartholomew, (''Rio cinema call to arms: warning it can’t keep operating at a loss'' ), ''Hackney Gazette'', 10 October 2013, retrieved 9 September 2014〕〔Anna Prokova, (''Good news for Hackney: Rio Cinema is not closing down'' ), eastlondonlines.co.uk, 18 October 2013, retrieved 9 September 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rio Cinema (Dalston)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
