About The Source
Located in the heart of Stratford, East London, The Source is a state-of-the-art arts venue developed through a partnership between the University of East London (UEL) and Newham’s Youth Empowerment Service. This dynamic space serves as a hub for creativity, learning, and community engagement. With facilities including a 310-seat auditorium, a 90-seat studio theatre, a dance studio, and a café, The Source offers a versatile environment for performances, workshops, and social gatherings. Its mission is to nurture young talent and foster cultural growth within the community.
Thanks to Stratford’s excellent transport connections — from the Elizabeth Line and Jubilee Line to the Central Line, DLR and Overground — The Source is within easy reach for the whole of London. At a time when traditional venues such as Picturehouse East have closed their doors, Film Nights at The Source offer a fresh, vibrant alternative for cinema-goers from Hackney to Hammersmith.
In a city where independent cinemas have struggled and ticket prices often keep audiences away, community cinemas are stepping forward to fill the gap. What makes them special isn’t just the films they show, but the values they embody: accessibility, thoughtful curation, and genuine conversation. The Source may be rooted in Stratford, but its doors — and its stories — are wide open to everyone across London.
Doors open at 6:30. Film Starts at 7pm
Between 6:30 and 7pm we will be showcasing short film from London Emerging Filmmakers.
