Dominic Hicks began The Nickel, “home to the most subversive, bewildering, sensational, fearless, sublime, shocking, transgressive, death-defying, psychedelic, psychotronic, bizarre, rebellious, baffling, degenerate cinematic treasures – from the silent era to the digital age” as a series of pop-up screenings, hosted everywhere from The Cinema Museum to the Garden Cinema. After smashing a crowdfunding campaign, he secured a permanent site for the cinema dedicated to B-movies, exploitation films and alternative filmmaking on Clerkenwell Road. Head in to the 37-seat cinema to watch a varied programme of grindhouse, arthouse and rare movies, mainly on film but also VHS and digital, and buy posters, merch, movies, books and soundtracks from the shop.
