Manchester - Nightlife - Cinemas - Eating & Drinking - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Arts & Entertainment - Social Clubs
For one reason or another, over the past two years I've not been to Cornerhouse very often. There was the time, however, when I all but lived there. I could buy discounted tickets with my student card, so I took the chance. I'd been to several retrospectives and film festivals, and watched a plenty of indie, box office, and art house films there. Whereas before 2004 my interest in Cinema was more that of an outsider, since 2004, and thanks to Cornerhouse, I've realised that cinema actually means the world to me.
Patroned by the likes of Danny Boyle, Damien Hirst, and Helen Mirren, Cornerhouse provided me with much inspiration, as well. There are wonderful views of the crossroads of Oxford Street, Whitworth Street, and Whitworth Street West (the latter is tipped to be renames into Anthony Wilson Way). The view is particularly inspiring and romantic at dusk.
As far as the exhibitions go, Cornerhouse keeps doing its best as an arts centre to bring the forward-thinking artists under its roof. The extension that is now being built will allow to do more, particularly as far as various classes are concerned. Cornerhouse has long established great relationship with different universities, and several professors in Film regularly introduce foreign films to the public. They are also sometimes invited to run public courses, but the presently available space is too small for all the people who may want to attend. Hopefully, the extension will extend the possibilities, as well.
Cornerhouse has always been doing good drinks, alcoholic and not, and their cakes have been delicious recently. On the menu they usually have a good choice of pizzas, and if you've been up all Saturday night, you can come in for a breakfast and a movie on a Sunday morning.
