We hope you're having a lovely one whatever you're up to. 2019 saw Cheap Cuts have a very small rest whilst we worked on another project Last Frame Film Club in collab with Barbican Centre & Waltham Forest, London Borough of Culture 2019
We got to do some exploring too and found some cool cinemas on our travels, incl. this one in Uyuni, Bolvia.
... We can't wait to show you what's in store for Cheap Cuts 2020, happening May in London.
