How you can help support your local cinema
The Covid-19 pandemic has made the past eight months exceptionally difficult for many people and organisations, including Wales’ wonderful cinemas.
To support our nation’s vibrant film exhibition sector during this challenging time, Ffilm Cymru redesigned our funding to best meet its immediate needs, as well as providing guidance, advocacy, and opportunities for film exhibitors to connect, collaborate, and share concerns and ideas.
But as both independent cinemas and commercial chains still face challenges, you can also support your local cinemas in a variety of ways, helping to make sure they continue to be a welcoming place for all to enjoy.
Here are the independent cinemas in Wales you can support with visits, streams, gift vouchers, memberships and donations:
