A THRIVING SECTOR
creening of feature lms in the UK is not limited to cinemas belonging to the major circuits. There is a thriving sector of non-commercial providers bringing a wide variety of programming, often specialised in nature, to local communities which would otherwise be underserved by the commercial operators. This sector is often referred to as community cinema. Members of local communities are often more involved in the programming of such cinemas than their commercial counterparts. Screenings of lms in this sector are in venues such as village halls, mixed arts venues independent cinemas and the like and are often run as lm societies.
Film societies are run by enthusiasts who have a love of cinema and who work to share their enjoyment and experiences with others. They show a wide range of lms, which often cannot be, seen anywhere else in the area: the best of cinema from all around the world. There are many Film Societies in Yorkshire and details of their programmes are shown in this brochure. They are all open to the general public.
