Walthamstow's Big Screen- What Do You Want to Watch?

Now we have a big screen in the town square for the Olympics I think it's really important that we residents speak up for what we want to watch. The Council have started doing some consultation about this and already people are talking about this new addition to our square. However, I know I find it hard to picture what it will be like to watch without it being switched on but I am sure once we have seen it in action during the 2008 Olympics people will have even more to say. That's why I've put together a short survey about the screen which you can complete on-line here. I hope too local filmmakers and groups who could provide content will use the survey to register their interest. Please note the planning application which agrees the hours of use for the screen will be heard on the 5 August. I will send the details of responses so far to the committee on that issue for them to consider but I will also keep the survey open for responses until the end of September so that you can comment after you've seen the screen live during the Olympics! 

Can't wait for the screen to be on to watch films in Walthamstow? The Walthamstow Film Cafe will be showing a series of short films this Friday 1 August at the Rose and Crown Theatre Pub on Hoe Street starting at 8pm. Details of the programme can be found here.
