And the winner of our logo competition is...



We're delighted to present our lovely new logo for The Hamlets, created by Marcos Sebastian. Marcos was one of many entries we received for our recent competition to design a logo for a new community pop-up cinema project, which is being funded by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and delivered by film charity Balik Arts. 

The Hamlets will use venues in town centres across the borough, such as Bethnal Green, Brick Lane, Roman Road West, Watney Market, and Chrisp Street for regular screenings during this coming autumn and winter. We will be working with local businesses, community organisations and residents, who will help promote, plan and deliver the pop-up cinema project.

The Hamlets Pop-Up Cinema proudly presents Mutluluk/Happiness (2017), short movie from Turkey.  Part of our fantastic double-bill at the end of February, this award-winning film was written and directed by Necip Caghan Ozdemir, and tells the story of a man working at a car repair shop who is determined to overcome the gloom and misery around him to spread happiness.
The 12-minute clip has already travelled the world through its official selection at the Sarajevo Film Festival, Dhaka International Film Festival and Hollywood Turkish Film Festival, with additional screenings at Cannes Short Film Corner and the International Bosphorus Film Festival, winning the Best Short Film Award at the latter. Its next stop is Bethnal Green in East London.
