🎬 THE NEXT ELECTRIC MEDWAY CINEMA CLUB IS HERE! 🍿

🗓️Thursday 24 September
🕰️6:50pm - 9:30pm
📍Huguenot Museum, Rochester, ME1 1LX

Get ready for a night of classic British comedy and creative animation as we screen The Ladykillers (1955) — Alexander Mackendrick’s brilliantly dark and wonderfully eccentric Ealing comedy, starring Alec Guinness and a young Peter Sellers.

Before the main feature, we’ll be showing Singularity (2026), a beautifully crafted animated short from Blender Studio, taking us on a painterly journey through a universe before the beginning of our time. 🌌

🎞️ The programme:
6:50pm — Doors open
7:10pm — Singularity
7:25pm — Break
7:30pm — The Ladykillers
9:00pm — Break
9:10pm — Optional post-film discussion
9:30pm — Finish

And, as always, you’re invited to stay and chat afterwards — no film expertise required, just bring your thoughts and opinions! 💬

Come along, discover something different and enjoy a night of cinema with fellow film lovers. 🎥

Community is at the heart of Electric Medway. 💜

We believe creativity is more than making things.

It’s about bringing people together, creating connections and giving everyone the opportunity to take part.

From families discovering new experiences, to people sharing stories, learning new skills and creating together, our work is about making space for belonging, creativity and connection.

We bring people together through digital arts, creative technology and community-led projects, creating opportunities for people across Medway to explore, experiment and tell their own stories.

Because when people come together, something happens.

Ideas are shared. Confidence grows. Connections are made. Stories are told.

And at the heart of it all is community.

Everyone is a digital storyteller. ✨

💜 Want to be part of it?

🌈 From a digital idea… to something you can actually hold! 🖨️✨

We had an amazing time at our Print in 3D workshop as part of Medway Pride Fringe 2026 last month, bringing creativity, technology and community together at Sun Pier House. 🏳️‍🌈

From designing animations on iPads to 3D printing, the workshop showed just how accessible and exciting digital creativity can be! 💻➡️🖨️

And the best part? Seeing everyone’s ideas and creativity come to light 🙌

This little roundup captures some of the 3D printing timelapse, alongside the animations and creative work made during the session.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, got creative and helped make the workshop so much fun! ❤️

At Electric Medway, we love creating opportunities to explore digital design, 3D printing, animation and creative technology while bringing people together across Medway.

We had such a brilliant time at Love Twydall and Love Strood as part of Medway’s Pride in Place events.

Getting local families hands-on with digital creativity and showing just how much you can make, play and experiment with technology.

And the best part? Hearing what parents had to say. ❤️

💬 “My kid’s really into all the tech stuff, so it’s great to know there’s somewhere he can go to learn more.”

💬 “Really fun to make and play.”

💬 “Never would’ve known you can make something animate like that.”

That’s exactly why we love what we do.

Digital creativity isn’t just about screens and technology. It’s about giving people the chance to try something new, discover what they’re capable of and realise that they can be creators too.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, got involved and shared their ideas with us. 🫶

We’re proud to be part of community events that bring people together and help shape the future of Medway.
