Cedar Cinema is a small community cinema in Leeds. On Thursday, The Blue Bicycle starts at 6.30 pm and lasts eighty minutes. It has English subtitles. On Friday, A Window at Night starts at 8 pm and lasts one hundred minutes. It has no subtitles. Both screenings take place in Room One. Harriet finishes work at six on Thursday and needs fifteen minutes to walk to the cinema. She prefers a film with subtitles. Tickets are available at the door. The café opens half an hour before each screening, but the doors to the room open only ten minutes before the film.
