Only just found out that The Electric, the oldest working cinema in the UK, located here in Birmingham, has been been forced to shut, and possibly for good. It was such a good place to watch independent films, older films, and experimental stuff too.
This comes alongside the fact that the theatres and art galleries in the city will probably have to close by 2025 because there will be no more arts funding.
