Poster for Exploding Cinema's roof show in Peckham, SE15, 1998 (CR)

As well as the regular screenings in the familiar 'Exploding Cinema-type' format, the group has also staged a number of one-off events. The earliest of these was probably the all night Dive In (1993) at Brockwell Lido with an audience of 2,000+ , and has since included venues from a circus tent to a vast timber yard (2004).   Two such large scale summer shows were run on an old factory roof in the centre of Peckham on successive years (1997/8) with attendances of 400 + each time.

Of course numbers aren't that important, but it does show that there are sizeable popular audiences for open access/underground film screenings.
