KINEMAG is the magazine for film fanatics, and for the independent cinema itself.

London’s indie cinemas are facing existential challenges thanks to threatening landlords and increased economic pressures.

As audience habits mutate to meet the ‘binge-ability’ of streaming platforms, the capital’s smaller cinemas are defiantly expanding the traditional cinematic experience.

KINEMAG explores how movie houses like The Garden Cinema are at the forefront of a growing movement to establish cultural centres for lovers of the silver-screen. Seeking a unique and personal experience that large-scale multiplexes cannot offer, these screens offer foreign, independent and art-house selections alongside mainstream releases. Interactive live events, like festivals and industry panels, have helped indie cinema to reach more people than ever in 2025.

Informed by industry professionals and cinema-lovers, KINEMAG exists as a manifesto for the conservation of London’s vibrant independent cinema scene.
