@BFI Can you please share historical context for this video? Where and what year was this filmed?

@user19612014 It is, from 1924!

Is that Woking mosque?

@JJTop13 We fully appreciate your frustration and apologise. We are doing our best to get both lifts back in service ASAP. If you would like to discuss this further with the team, please email customerfeedback@bfi.org.uk.

@BFI @IMAX This is unacceptable. I came for the 1:30pm screening of Project Hail Mary and ALL the lifts were out of order. Completely inaccessible. Sort this out!!!! this isn’t good enough.

Long overshadowed by 16mm and 8mm, the curious 9.5mm format once opened a doorway to cinema for home audiences and young filmmakers alike – and today stands as a vital archive of films that survive nowhere else. theb.fi/40zVpJD
