Cinema for All South West is a group of experienced enthusiasts, running their own successful community cinemas, who support the 80 plus Cinema For All members operating in the South West region. One of its main activities is to promote the screening of specialised cinema by previewing titles at twice-yearly Viewing Sessions across the region including new titles from the Cinema for All’s own DVD/Bluray Booking Scheme – see the link to the national website –https://cinemaforall.org.uk/booking-scheme/ .
The Group hopes that its involvement with Film Hub South West will continue to allow its members to expand their programming at the same time as developing the rural cinema network by setting up new venues, organising trial screenings and providing technical and programming advice.
Full details of the services available through the Group are to be found on the website http://cinemaforallsw.org/resources/. These include access to the latest digital projectors and sound systems as well as large portable screens
