  • April 2020 Newsletter
    FRIENDS OF HYDE PARK PICTURE HOUSE April 2020 Newsletter www.friendsofhpph.org Hello Everyone! Well, it’s been a rather dramatic month hasn’t it?! Even though we have been working towards a period of closure for the Picture House, the circumstances in which that has come about and the speed at which things have unfolded have been a challenge for us too both logistically and emotionally. The team have been incredible with staff all working together to ensure that the Picture House itself is safe and secure during this period whilst simultaneously trying to find solutions for how to communicate and support one another outside of the confines of our cosy cinema. Naturally our thoughts also turned to you, our audience. Needless to say, we sure as heck miss you all. As plentiful as digital access to films is these days it’s simply not a substitute for watching and sharing films with others in the physical realm. We miss hearing what films you liked and didn’t like, what else you’ve been watching and reading, how your garden is doing…you get the picture. We also hope you are all ok despite being stuck in a situation that is not ok. So, with this in mind we decided to put together a pretty comprehensive update from us letting you all know what we’re up to at the moment but also just sign posting a few resources which are available in our community in case anyone may need some extra support right now. Development Update Throughout February and early March we were in the process of winding up the Picture House ready to start our building work.
