It’s been six years since Blockbuster closed all of its remaining video rental shops in the UK. Remember those simpler times spending evenings scouring the shelves trying to find just the right VHS tape to rent? It was like an IRL scroll through Netflix. Now you get a taste of nostalgia at this pop-up Nineties video shop at the BFI Southbank.
Visit the wistful installation created by Young Cinema Rebels and students at the Wimbledon College of Arts to scan the shelves, watch films and TV shows on VHS, tuck into free snacks courtesy of Crate Brewery, Dalston’s Soda, Love Corn and indulge in this blast from the not-too-distant past.
