alt Hacker NewsI just took a fortnight off work with the intent of getting away from my laptop, but accidentally ended up making a listings site for London's independent / arts cinemas. As far as I can tell no such thing currently exists, and I feel like it should.
Obviously the main thing is getting the listings data, which as far as I know (mostly) isn't readily available any other way that scraping the cinemas' websites, for which I set this up as a separate-ish project[1]

You should do all kind of events by event type, not just movies. Concerts, workshops, open lectures... london.eventhose.com. Then you should find volunteers for other cities to do the same.
Time Out should have long done that but instead they stopped their print edition.
Neat. Just notice that the ICA has a Genesis P. Orridge bio through your site, so will likely go and see that. Thanks!
Nice! No Garden Cinema? It's the best cinema in London! (And their website is great, I would imagine easy to scrape)
Love these tiny, locally focused ideas!
Hey I'm doing something similar for NYC! But focused on screenings with special appearances only. There's a lot going on here. Happy to share notes.
