Live & Local has been awarded LEADER funding to support a pilot rural cinema project in the central Warwickshire area (Warwick District and Rugby Borough) from January 2012 to the end of March 2013.
This funding will enable us to offer rural communities opportunities to programme films in their local halls, with all the necessary technical equipment and support. Live & Local will create a menu of available films – from popular family films to blockbusters, from screen classics to indie and foreign films – and will provide an online listings service.
Many local promoters have already expressed an interest in taking part and see this as a new opportunity to bring their communities together for shared entertainment and socialising. As with the promotion of live performance, local promoters will take the initiative in programming with their particular audience in mind and will ensure success by getting their communities involved as fellow organisers and audiences.
