Community Outreach We want to bring film to the wider community as part of the Community Film Network, by providing greater film choices and experiences. Part of this process will be to develop a network of venues and volunteers, especially in more marginalised areas. We will provide the resources for these local people/groups to run their own film screenings so that we can truly feel that we are reaching "the heart of the community". The idea of the scheme is to train local volunteers in more marginalised parts of the town to run their own screenings. We would then loan out the equipment to be used in specific community centres located in other parts of St Leonards, thereby providing people in those areas an opportunity to see films locally.
Broadening Horizons One of the ways in which we can introduce new filmic experiences is (when possible) by screening short films made by local film-makers/students. These would be shown at special screenings or prior to our main screenings around the town. In this way we hope to introduce film-goers to something new and the film-maker's work will have reached a new and greater audience.
If you know of a community venue that would be suitable for screening films and could be part of our network, or for any other queries, please send us an e-mail.
