Welcome!

The Café Project is a non-profit, volunteer-run café, bookswapping library, art gallery, cinema, discussion and performance space  all packed into a cosy venue in the heart of Cambridge on 22 Jesus Lane. We are open weekday evenings, but sometimes also host events during the day and on weekends. (Check the opening times.) Our café is eclectic, improvised, open to everyone - students and non-students - with very cheap prices (tea and cake 50p each)! Come and treat yourself with some scrumptious and ethical goodies!  Or better still, volunteer!

The cafe isn't currently wheelchair accessible (It has two quite high steps up from the pavement. We would like to be, and during summer 2010 trying to install a wheelchair ramp is one of our priorities, and we hope to be able to update this page with more concrete news soon.

The Peoples Cinema - atomic cafe

27/08/2010 - 19:30

Atomic Cafe

The Atomic Cafe is an acclaimed documentary film about the beginnings of the era of nuclear warfare, created from a broad range of archival film from the 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s - including newsreel clips, television news footage, U.S. government-produced films (including military training films), advertisements, television and radio programs. News footage reflected the prevailing understandings of the media and public.

 

The Peoples Cinema, films for the people!

Come and enjoy a regular series of thought provoking documentaries, lesser known cinema and general oddities. We are fully liscensed to sell tea and cake to the audience :)

Cafe open from 7:30pm, films begin at 8pm, stay around for discussion afterwards.

 

I'd be really up for sharing out or receding from the friday film slot. If there's someone with films who wants to show them, i encourage them to go for it. I'm still up for doing films now and then, but i've been doing them almost every week since January, and have other stuff that's demanding my attention. Plus I'll be moving away sometime between August and October, so it'd be good to get some other regular folks organising films. Ben :)

cafeproject.org launch!

This is the launch of the Café Project website at cafeproject.org! Hopefully, this site will assist the running of the project in the times to come.

All this would not have been possible without the help of my friends Timwi and Roman, who are hosting our website on their server free of charge. Thanks so much! Timwi has also spent countless hours setting up the underlying software and writing lots of excellent, customised code for the Café Project. If you like the dynamic features of the website (in particular the volunteer time-slot/role system, or the café mailing list subscription system), please send him an email: <cafeproject[AT]timwi.de>.
