100 years of community cinema – Waxworks

Synopsis

Our screenings are for 18+ only.

The film is a silent anthology linked by a plot thread about a writer who accepts a job from a waxworks proprietor to write a series of stories about the exhibits of Caliph of Baghdad (Emil Jannings), Ivan the Terrible (Conrad Veidt) and Jack the Ripper (Werner Krauss) in order to boost business. The film, made during the Weimar Republic years, is said to have served as a ‘showreel’ for its makers and stars to escape Nazi oppression and flee to Hollywood.

*Please note that this film involves insensitive cultural depictions.

Film Tottenham is taking part in a nationwide festival of community cinema running from October – December 2025, showcasing the inspirational and innovative programming of volunteer-led cinemas over the past 100 years.

Cinema For All will lead the way in commemorating this incredible milestone with a dynamic program focused on film education, networking, and promotion.
