Derbyshire Film

Home / Film Development / Derbyshire Film

Derbyshire Film is a network of voluntary promoters that screens films in alternative venues, particularly in areas where cinema might not otherwise be available.

These voluntary promoters are based at venues as diverse as village halls, community centres, schools and colleges – anywhere that is a meeting point for local people and can provide some very basic facilities.

If you want help turning your local venue into a temporary cinema, then contact your nearest Derbyshire Film promoter.

These national organisations might also be able to help:

Cinema For All – https://cinemaforall.org.uk/ – Offers support to screen films in your community.
My Community Cinema – https://mycommunitycinema.org.uk/ – A space for community cinemas to host online profiles, upload information about their groups, upload their upcoming screenings, and connect with the wider community cinema sector
BFI FAN – https://www.bfi.org.uk/get-funding-support/bring-film-wider-audience/bfi-film-audience-network – The BFI Film Audience Network – regional networks of cinemas, festivals and film clubs. Derbyshire is in the Midlands Region – www.filmhubmidlands.org
