Centre Screen

Mobile Cinema for Leicestershire & Rutland

Centre Screen is a community cinema scheme which enables you to show blockbuster or archive films in a venue on your doorstep.
Volunteers within the community select their film, book the venue & sell the tickets & Centre Screen provides the technician & state of the art equipment to run the screening. It is managed by Phoenix Arts, Leicester.

Centre Screen can help you:
  • to choose your film
  • advise on how best to choose something for the type of audience you want to attract

Centre Screen will turn up with all the kit, set it up & run the film screening for you. They can also come & visit your venue beforehand to ensure all will run smoothly.

Cost

The screenings cost you £80 & you split the profit on the ticket sales (not the refreshments, raffle etc) 50-50 between yourselves & the scheme. The money returned to the scheme helps to maintain the kit & keep the costs down.
If you already have a projector, screen &speakers in your venue then Centre Screen can still support you in running a film event.
