At the Pictures
At the Pictures is a podcast for those who believe cinema is more than entertainment—it's an art form, and a grand, enduring spectacle. Presented in association with 1 Warwick, a private members' house in the heart of Soho—London’s historic film district—the series blends sharp critique with industry insight and a touch of dry wit. For those who see cinema as a lens through which to view the world, and prefer their commentary as considered as their company, At the Pictures is required listening.
