Wow, what a fantastic Festival. The outdoor screening of Bohemian Rhapsody was an incredible success which earned a spontaneous round of applause at the end. We have to say a huge thanks to Ivor Knox for his help setting it up and making sure everything worked.

Sadly we didn't have a full house for the breathless French thriller Point Blank, but everyone who came has given us great feedback on how  much they enjoyed the frenetic pace and thrills of it.

Then we wound up with the theatre filled with laughter for the sold out screenings of Withnail and I and NT Live's One Man, Two Guvnors.

I am sure everyone will agree that the festival screenings were a resounding success.

Next year will be our 10th Festival and we are planning a great celebratory set of films.

As the Theatre is going dark for it's renovation from October to December, we are relocating to the Scout HQ on Brown Twins Road.

We are all kitted out with the largest fold up screen we could get and will be recreating the full surround sound effect we currently get the the theatre,

Having looked at various venues, we plumped for the Scout HQ as it seemed perfectly proportioned to let us bring in a great crown, but not so cavernous as to make the acoustics echo around the room.

For those of you who came to our screening of Bohemian Rhapsody at the New Inn, we will be using much the same set up, but the sound should be even better. 

A lot of effort will be going into setting up these screenings, so do come along in your droves to support us!

Wow, we are really delighted to have once again been recognised at the annual Cinema for All Community Cinema of the Year awards.

Once again, both our programme and our marketing have been recognised as among the best that Community Cinema has to offer.

This continues a wonderfully unbroken series of awards every year since we launched in 2011! 

​We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have once again been shortlisted for awards at the upcoming Community Cinema and Film Society of the Year awards at the Cinema for All National Conference in September.

​There are now over 1,200 Community Cinemas around the country, some of them in huge metropolises with large teams of volunteers and big populations, so for our little team to be shortlisted is a major achievement and the fact that it has happened every year is phenomenal.

These awards are judged by an independent panel of Film professionals so we are delighted to get recognised by the industry again.

Deborah Parker, Chief Executive of Cinema for All, told David "I didn't realise there were only three of you running the Cinema, that just emphasises the amazing job you do and it is fantastic that you show up so well in the awards every year against such tough competition".

Wish us luck.
