In March 2018 “Crofton Park Pictures” started a series of a pop-up cinema screenings, the first being Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” on Friday 16th March. Since then, films have been shown roughly three times a month, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Projection is from Blu-ray/DVD. On Friday 14th June 2019 I attended the screening of “The Lost Boys” (1987) starring Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland. I estimated there were over 100 patrons, showing there is a healthy interest in screenings at iconic venues such as this wonderful former cinema.

There is now a facebook group dedicated to saving the Rivoli. Here is its description:

Let´s buy the Rivoli and save it from evil developers… Spread the word! This is what facebook was invented for.

The Rivoli Ballroom in Brockley is under threat from money-grabbing soul-less developers, who have offered the owner 10 million quid to knock it down and build soul-less faceless and no doubt hideous apartments.

10 million squid that´s nothing! Roll up roll up let´s start a co-operative of sorts, if we get 1,000 or 2,000 or 10,000 people together, we can all own shares in the Rivoli, appoint a board of directors, own the Rivoli and make a profit to boot. THIS SHOULD BE EASY ON FACEBOOK! I would be surprised if there were not 10,000 people in London and out who love the Rivoli, are into saving historic buildings, or simply want a share in such a lovely building, a say in what goes on there, burlesque organisers and dance club owners who want to put on nights there, or just simply want to make a profit!
