Films at The Shed

Cinema arrived at The Shed in 1993. We showed Dave Sample's 16mm docu-short 'Scarborough'. Finnish artist Rosa Liksom, showed a selection of her video shorts in 1996 and Jan Kopinski's Ghost Music project included film of Polish cemeteries.

The Shed cinema originally used an old slide projector screen found in a skip at Malton tip for which the princely sum of £3 (three pounds) was paid. Films at The Shed have included: Harold and Maude, The Navigator (with improvised soundtrack by Billy Jenkins and the Blues Collective), No More Mr Nice Guy, Cinema Paradiso, Black Rider, Trains and Roses, It's A Jungle Out There, and Surprise. We also collaborate with the delightful little Palace Cinema in Malton

'For the past 17 years, The Shed, near the market town of Malton, has been responsible for some of the smallest and most inspired art events in the country.' Guardian
"And no matter how strange they sound, there always seem to be people prepared to come from miles away to his North Yorkshire village to get in on the act - artists, musicians and poets, as well as spectators.... the art world could do with more of his kind of far-reaching woolly thinking." Daily Telegraph "I muse on the idea of future cultural historians citing a shed door as the fulcrum of a rural arts renaissance" Ian McMillan
