Southsea Community Cinema Opens in Southsea with Family Film Screenings

PORTSMOUTH FILM SOCIETY MOVES TO THE PYRAMIDS TO BECOME SOUTHSEA CINEMA

Southsea Community Cinema is hosting its first season at the Glass House in the Pyramid Centre with its 2020-21 winter program.  Along with many other community cinemas across the country who are working successfully with local councils, universities, schools and community groups across the UK, Southsea Community Cinema will deliver world class films and film related activities providing a much desired cultural outlet in the city. Having operated out of the University of Portsmouth for the past several years and following on the success of the Sunset outdoor summer programs, Portsmouth Film Society is now one step closer to having a permanent home with Southsea Cinema.

As a member of the UK Cinema For All organisation, Southsea Cinema strive to show films that deal with contemporary issues affecting our community.  In addition to showing a broad array of films from around the world enhanced with guest speakers and themed exhibitions, they will be running film making classes for all ages and host local film making competitions.” says Aysegul Epengin, the cinema development manager.

Working with local organizations, Southsea Community Cinema programming will continue the tradition of delivering community focused film festivals; Green Festival, LGBTQ+ Film Festival, Short::Cuts Film Festival, Black History Month season. Their opening features, Recovery Festival III highlighting issues facing those individuals in recovery with panel discussions with organisations providing support in Portsmouth to individuals and their families was a huge success this past weekend.

Next up is a family focused programming will favour rich and educational film examples rather than the run-of-the-mill blockbuster films.
