Curated Community Cinema
We believe in the power of cinema to bring communities together, to offer shared experiences, to see the world in new ways and to have some fun!
With Curated Community Cinema you can show films that you know will bring your community together, or try out something different with audiences. If you’re an exhibitor, you might want to use the Curated Community Cinema programme to reach new audiences.
About
What WE Offer
As part of our Curated Community Cinema programming we run free film nights, often with performances, panel discussions and refreshments.
Community cinemas and film societies bring film to all areas of the country. A film society experience brings you together as a community to share the magic of cinema. Community cinemas bring back that habit of cinema-going, that was once thought lost. We believe that a community screening can be an inspiring and unique way to experience cinema.
