Community Cinema: Save The Cinema

About Community Cinema: Save The Cinema

Location: Duncan Place Community Hub 
4 Duncan Place, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 8HW

Our community cinema continues with Save The Cinema, a comedy drama based on the true story of Liz Evans, a hairdresser and leader of a youth theatre in Carmarthen, Wales who starts a campaign in the 1990s to save her small town's theatre. With the help of a local politician, they approach Steven Spielberg with the idea to premiere Jurassic Park there in a bid to save the cinema. A real, feel good movie, perfect to warm us all up on a chilly December afternoon.
This screening is for ages 16+.
