Choose any film, create a screening, and bring Whitechapel together for a night at Genesis Cinema
If there's a film you'd love to see at Genesis Cinema - a classic, a cult favourite, or something that's never been on the big screen here - you can start a screening in minutes. Create a public community screening and invite others to join you.
Create a ScreeningInstead of paying hundreds to hire a screen privately, start a community screening on Screenwave. Share the cost between your group, only pay if enough people join, and get a full refund if they don't.
Create a Screening
Genesis is a family-run, independent cinema and arts venue in the heart of London's East End — committed to showing the best in independent and mainstream film, supporting local artists, and giving the community a genuinely great place to watch movies. Exactly the kind of cinema Screenwave was built for.

It costs £12.00 to start a screening, which counts towards the funding target.
Genesis Cinema in Whitechapel is one of London's most beloved independent cinemas — five screens, nearly 1,000 seats, and a programme that runs from blockbusters to cult classics. Two screens even have boutique sofa seating. The kind of place a Screenwave screening was made for.
