Anyway, for one reason or another, it's been a little while since our last episode, and I suppose, Kyle, you're still coming back to Earth after your exciting adventures in the projection rooms of the BFI London, right? not to mention rubbing shoulders with Mark Kermode and Christopher Nolan and you can find more details all about that in our previous episodes however today is focused on the Broadway itself and as one of the many reasons for the podcast delay is a lot occurring at our favourite cinema and the first big event is the first film screened with an audience in 50 years it occurred a few weeks ago
So we're absolutely delighted to go into the nerdy details in this episode of what it took for us to show, technically, the first feature film in the Broadway since One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1976.
The best way to premise it is the, I suppose, the nature of the event, because we, for quite a long time, through the first half of this year, through the spring, we'd really hoped to introduce this summer a public event programme.
So actually to start showing film for the first time in 50 years and to do that publicly as part of the new visitor experience, the Broadway cinema experience, and to complement the pop-up museum with actual events, not just even film, but potentially also some live music, history, cultural events.
But the one thing that's been holding that up, and again, we can go into more detail in the podcast, which is quite helpful, is the public entertainment license license.
so the Broadway's current license means that we have restrictions on exactly what type of events we can host in the building at the moment the Broadway is a indoor visitor attraction the pop-up museum is essentially our phase of operations and because of that any sort of additional elements center around the museum so we can still incorporate some additional elements into the pop-up museum opening time so we can still do occasional 35 mil film demonstrations or we can have some live music from our lovely new compton organ and um maybe history presentations because that that ties in with the cultural heritage side of things as well but in terms of sort of Bigger events like film screenings, we're still a little bit restrictive.
As a charity, we have our own core member base and we can host private member events for our members in the building.
And it was a really lovely way, even despite the restrictions, to give something back to our long-suffering members, a lot of whom have been members of us for years and years, and have been asking for a long time to see how much amazing it would be to see a film on the Broadway and when they can do that.
