Thanks to several funders, we were able to offer free entry and free refreshments at all our cinema screenings in 2024, which brought people of all ages together. Our films ranged from blockbuster WICKED to classics like CASABLANCA (screened in honour of The Longest Yarn Exhibition, commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings).

 

It is illegal to show films or TV shows in a public space without licensed permission from the copyright owner, 

whether you sell tickets or allow FREE ENTRY! 

  
The cost of screening a film remains very high due to film licensing fees. A Single Title Screening Licence costs over £160, and allows you to show a film just once. This makes screening films free of charge a challenge, especially without some kind of subsidy or funding. But fear not, our intrepid volunteers are busy looking for grants, and we're planning more movie mayhem for you all to enjoy...until then, 'we'll always have Paris.'
