Create a screening
Screenwave helps film fans bring classic, cult, and fan-favourite films back to local cinemas. Anyone can start a screening, share it, and invite others to back it. Once the funding target is reached, Genesis Cinema confirms the date.
Walter Hill made The Warriors for one reason — to be seen on the biggest screen possible. The kind of film that loses something on a laptop, a tablet, or even a TV. 1h 34m that deserve your full attention and a darkened room. See it properly or don't see it at all.
So create a screening. Bring your mates, your family, your colleagues, your neighbours, that friend who's never seen it and needs to. Pack the seats with people who get it — or people who are about to. This is your cinema. Your film. Your night. Make it one to remember.
