Curated Community Cinema

Curated Community Cinema

With Curated Community Cinema we support communities, film fans or exhibitors to create their own community cinema in their neighbourhood.

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.

To find out more or to bring a Curated Community Cinema to your borough/town, get in touch with us.
