Ümit & Son, a cinema shop located on Lower Clapton Road, has completed a substantial renovation of its premises. The revamped interior now includes dedicated areas for film viewing and educational workshops, transforming the space into a hub for film enthusiasts. The project aims to attract new audiences to the unique establishment.
New Features and Collaborations
The renovation features a newly installed micro cinema with a capacity of 15 seats, allowing for intimate screenings of classic films from the shop's extensive archive. Upstairs, visitors can find workshops focused on using a 35mm projector and a Moviola. The basement level houses a collection of film history artefacts and memorabilia. Filmmaker Liam Saint-Pierre collaborated with the shop's owner, Ümit Mesut, on the revamp. Their partnership began after Saint-Pierre, then an NHS physiotherapist, met Mesut and subsequently made an award-winning documentary about the shop.

Funding and Future Offerings
The significant makeover was made possible through a Kickstarter campaign, which successfully raised £55,000, exceeding its initial goal. This funding was crucial in addressing rising rents that had threatened the business. The shop's 16mm film collection is now available online. For a special screening of classics such as 'The Red Shoes' or 'Wild Strawberries', the 15-seater micro cinema can be hired for £250.
