Spotlight on Community Cinema

Film London’s Spotlight project is a community-focused film exhibition initiative designed to improve access to cinema and screen culture in parts of London that are underserved by traditional cinema provision. It sits within Film Hub London, Film London’s network supporting cinemas, independent exhibitors, film clubs and community screening programmes.

It’s not just about getting more films shown, it’s also about working with local communities to understand what they’d like to watch. We help local people to develop and run their own screenings with funding, hands on support and training as we want film culture to be more accessible to people who might otherwise have limited opportunities to get involved and to enjoy watching films together.

The Spotlight project is currently running in Barking & Dagenham and Enfield in alternative venues. We have lots of wonderful community cinema groups running in both boroughs and this is the page to find out what’s on and where!

If you’d like to know more about the project or to get involved with setting up your own community cinema, please contact Moira.McVean@filmlondon.org.uk
