Said Minghella, Chair of the bfi and acclaimed director, producer and
writer: "Too often we hear commentators state that specialist cinema is confined to London but film societies across the land have been providing that service for years. Community cinema is important to the entire industry and this celebration is a fitting appreciation of their invaluable contribution." |
