About Close-Up Cinema
Four floors of film history greet you at Close-Up Cinema in Shoreditch, where our 40-seat screening room has been hosting everything from corporate presentations to birthday celebrations. We've equipped the space with 2K NEC D-cinema projection alongside our 35mm and 16mm projectors, all running through Dolby 5.1 surround sound that makes dialogue crystal clear and action sequences properly immersive. Our venue works particularly well for private parties because we can tailor the entire experience. You might start with drinks in our fully licensed café and bar, where we serve freshly ground coffee, baked goods, and a rotating selection of wines and ales. The space flows naturally between the screening room and social areas, so your guests can move freely during events. In summer months, our courtyard provides extra breathing room for larger gatherings. What sets us apart for party hire is the atmosphere created by our 26,000-strong collection of films and books lining the walls. Your event happens surrounded by cinema history - early silent films, world cinema treasures, experimental works, and documentaries. We regularly host cast and crew previews here, and the same facilities that work for industry professionals create memorable experiences for private celebrations. The screening room itself adapts to different party formats. We've hosted everything from birthday film marathons to corporate team events with custom presentations. Press screenings and conferences happen here during the week, while weekends often see private parties taking over the full venue. Our hourly hire options mean you can book just the cinema or combine it with exclusive use of the café, bar, and courtyard spaces. The technical capabilities handle any format you need screened, from vintage 16mm reels to the latest digital releases.
