The newly optimistic outlook follows widespread concern over its future among supporters of the well-loved Dalston cinema, with its board of trustees warning that “difficult decisions” lay ahead and the Save The Rio campaign urging an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to dismiss said board over rumours that commercialisation was on the cards.
Trustees of the cinema in Kingsland High Street have now stood down en masse to make way for an entirely new board. The new members are understood to have set as their objectives the payment of the London Living Wage and roll-out of collective bargaining for staff, as well as a renewed pledge to protect the Rio’s identity.
