Acton has been without a cinema since the closure of the Acton Screen in 1989. However, a determined group of residents has advocated for the transformation of the Old Library building into a vibrant cinema. This has been made possible by a successful fundraising campaign supported by the Mayor of London’s Spacehive fund.

​

To summarise the history and story of how the Old Library building has now become a Cinema and community hub, a short story gives a glimpse into the inspiring journey that has brought this cinematic and communal dream to life. This short clip now plays before every movie shown!

The Act One Cinema is now open and is a new community cinema for Acton!​
