The Rio holds a remarkable archive of photography of Hackney in the 1980s, film posters dating back to the 70s, and cinema programmes and documents covering half a century of radical community-organised film projects and activism. If you visit the cinema on a Monday, you’ll see some of our unique archive being shown as a slideshow in front of your screening.
