Posted 8/3/2010 1:01:37 PMUrban cool meets outdoor cinema this September as The Deptford Project partners with Silent Cinema for one of this year’s more unusual London movie experiences.
As well as hosting London’s famous railway carriage café, The Deptford Project is houses a group of creatives-in-residence in once-disused railway arches. They’re using their talents to help create this completely unique cinema experience. Artist/designers Jamie Elliot and Liam Healy of Jail Make have designed the screen and the cinema seating - armchairs designed and built from wooden palettes - which they will build with furniture designers Boro. Textile up-cyclers Crafty Bitches have hand sewn cushions from a choice of recycled fabrics to make the whole experience comfortable and beautiful.
Three weekends of movies will be themed around ’80’s Favourites, Horror London and Cult Classics

Thursday September 9th 8pm Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Food from the train carriage café will be available to eat while you watch, made with fresh ingredients grown onsite by the collective.
Silent Cinema provides the perfect private-public cinema experience - immerse yourself in the soundtrack through individual wireless headsets. It's like enjoying a movie at home only you're in a big group. You can laugh, crunch and scream as loud as you like - in Silent Cinema no one can hear you! And you won't miss a second of the movie grabbing a snack or popping to the loo.
Silent Cinema is the brainchild of Damian Barr, journalist for newspapers including The Times and BBC Radio 4 playwright. He hosts the sell-out literary salons at Shoreditch House and the Starlite Urban Drive in that recently took Brick Lane by storm.

We have new neighbours in the railyway arches. Artists The Good Life and Jail Make, Crafty Bitches, Boro design, Union Cycles and Insa's Custom Paint Shop.
We've converted the arches into workshop spaces and everyone's working hard to make them their new temporary home. Watch this space for updates.
In September we'll be doing our very own outdoor cinema space. The seats are being designed by Jail and Boro using old wooden pallets. Our Crafty Bitches will then step in to make the squashy colourful bits that make them comfortable.
We're working on plans to run a series of outdoor eating experiences here to - think Cook, Thief, Wife, Lover meets The Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Watch out for more details.
One of our friends is getting married at The Deptford Project on Saturday 31st July. This is th canopy they've made for their party on site.
Union Cycles are going to be curating Espresso Sprinting and The Tour de’ptford, bike riding cinema (with The Bicycle Film Festival) and running bespoke bike workshops where you can bring your own bike here and customise it.
INSA's Chop Shop has it's first commission, painting this classic Bentley. We'll let you know when it's done.
Our carriage, currently painted with a design by INSA is being redesigned by our new heroes Airside. They're planning an interactive piece working with Deptford locals. Airside are currently collection a whole raft of local stories and tales which they'll then translate into a graphic extravaganza on the train telling a million stories about Deptford.
Come and see what's happening. See you soon
