Rother District Council

Arts Development now has all the equipment necessary to set up a film night in your village hall.

If you are a local promoter or film enthusiast who would like to show films in your village then let us know. We can hire out the equipment at a very reasonable cost, provide training, help you book the films and help with publicity.

We are happy to support one off films, film festivals, cinema clubs, children's film indeed anything which promote community spirit throughout Rother and gets people together enjoying film.

We source our films through Filmbank who provide DVD's slightly earlier than their general release date and who supply the film with the licence to screen to the general public. The general cost of a film licence is approximately £100.

If you would like to know more or are interested in showing films in your village or town please contact Melanie Powell, Arts Development Officer on 01424 787506.
