The audience choice award went to the stunning audio-visual art film &#8220;We Dance for Life&#8221; \u2013 a powerful creative interpretation of pioneering cancer research.\n            <br><br>\n            <h2 class=\"secondary\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\">&#8220;We Dance for Life&#8221;: Art Meets Science<\/h2>\n            Fabstir has launched its innovative Media Player specifically designed for cinemas, creating a vital new pathway for community-driven films that typically struggle to reach the big screen through traditional distribution channels.\n            <br>\n            Commissioned by Sutton Council, &#8220;We Dance for Life&#8221; beautifully captures the groundbreaking cancer research taking place at the London Cancer Hub. Director Ian Sciacaluga and Victor Films created this remarkable piece featuring choreographed dance sequences that creatively interpret scientific concepts, enhanced by striking aerial footage.\n            <br>\n            The film was shot across iconic Sutton landmarks, including Mayfield Lavender fields, Manor &amp; Beddington Parks, the Benhill Estate and Sutton High Street. Dozens of local volunteers participated in the energetic dance sequences, which are intercut with scenes of scientists at work at The Institute of Cancer Research, London. The film showcases how Sutton is not only rich in heritage and culture but also a world-class centre for scientific research that&#8217;s spearheading advances in cancer treatment.\n            <br><br>\n            <h2 class=\"secondary\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\">The London Cancer Hub: A Global Centre of Excellence<\/h2>\n            The screening held special significance as the <a style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.icr.ac.uk\/research-and-discoveries\/other-strategic-partner-centres\/london-cancer-hub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London Cancer Hub<\/a> featured in the film is already Europe&#8217;s leading cancer research district. Recent landmark investments are transforming it into a global centre of innovation in cancer research and drug discovery.\n            <br>\n            The Hub represents one of London&#8217;s most significant regeneration projects and, once completed, will make Sutton home to the world&#8217;s largest cancer life science district. The economic impact is projected to be substantial, with contributions of approximately \u00a31.2 billion to the UK economy, a \u00a312 million increase in business rates, and the creation of 13,000 jobs across health, science, education and construction sectors.\n            <br><br>\n            <h2 class=\"secondary\" style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\">A Personal Testament to Life-Saving Work<\/h2>\n            The evening took on an especially poignant dimension when an audience member spontaneously delivered a heartfelt speech praising the Royal Marsden hospital, which partners with the London Cancer Hub. He shared his personal journey of how the hospital had saved his life, and spoke movingly about his ongoing recovery from a recent cancer operation. This powerful testament underscored the real-world impact of the innovative research being conducted at the London Cancer Hub and celebrated through &#8220;We Dance for Life.&#8221;\n            <br>\n            Through initiatives like this, Fabstir continues its mission to empower creators and communities while building stronger connections between filmmakers and their audiences through blockchain-verified engagement on <a style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.base.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Base<\/a> and <a style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/s5-dev\/S5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S5<\/a>\/<a style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\" href=\"https:\/\/sia.tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sia Tech<\/a>.\n          <\/span>\n          <p>\n            <br>\n            <span lang=\"en-gb\">\n              Warm regards, <br>\n              Julian Bushell<br>\n              <a style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Non-Multiplex Cinema<\/a><br>\n              CTO &amp; Founder, <a style=\"color: rgb(252, 148, 20);\" href=\"https:\/\/fabstir.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fabstir<\/a>\n            <\/span>\n          <\/p>\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Non-Multiplex Cinema&#8217;s Films in the City 2025 An Evening of Award-Winning Short Films Films in the City Fabstir has launched its innovative Media Player specifically designed for cinemas, creating a vital new pathway for community-driven films that typically struggle to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/?p=2141\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2141"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2141"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2178,"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2141\/revisions\/2178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nonmultiplexcinema.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
