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
