COLLABORATORS

The Loft Movie Theatre works alongside other creative organisations to bring cult and classic movies to the big screen. We'd like to introduce:

	Straight to Video & The 80s Video Shop Rob Lane AKA Straight to Video has many strings to his bow, including a pop culture podcast and a wide-ranging musical career. Rob also runs Arcade Frames, creating handmade artwork featuring Lego Mini Figures, cassettes and vinyl singles, and co-runs the incredible 80s video shop. We've worked with Rob on some super fun Halloween special screenings inclyding A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Lost Boys, John Carpenter's The Thing, The Return of the Living Dead and Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
	Chef Jugz When Chef Jugz approached us with his idea to design a three-course menu to pair with one of his favourite films, GoodFellas, we were thrilled... not least because that meant we'd get to eat some of his scrumptious food! Since then, Chef Jugz has continued to concoct some amazing movie-inspired menus and together we hosted regular events at Rough Trade Notts from 2017 to 2020. See our Gallery page to see some of our past events.
	Porlock Press Artist Dan Keeling's creative powerhouse Porlock Press began in September 2015 with a screening of Bad Boy Bubby at the Savoy Cinema, and continued in 2016 with a screening of Chuck and Buck at Cobden Chambers. All of the Loft Movie Theatre's 2017 events were brought to you in collaboration with Porlock Press.
	Mayhem Film Festival Mayhem Film Festival - aka filmmakers Steven Sheil and Chris Cooke - screen the best in contemporary horror, science-fiction and cult cinema and television from around the world, and their annual festival at Nottingham's Broadway Cinema in October is a must for any film fans. We were delighted to collaborate with Chris and Steve for a very special screening of Frank Henenlotter's BRAIN DAMAGE at The Savoy as part of Scalarama 2018.
	The Film Exchange The Film Exchange is an independent social enterprise, film store and cinema club. We first heard about The Film Exchange when we attended their immersive outdoor screening of Big Trouble in Little China in 2015, complete with bustling street food stalls and an authentic dragon dance. When they shared with us their idea to host an interactive screening of The Running Man at Quasar, we were delighted to collaborate as part of Scalarama 2017.
	Forbidden Planet In September 2024, we collaborated with the lovely folks at Forbidden Planet Nottingham on a one-night special 35mm screening of Kevin Smith's 1994 debut, Clerks.
