Duncan Place Community Cinema
Our Spring programme has finished. We will be back soon with more movies! Keep following our socials and website for future Duncan Place Community Cinema!
We’ve been really delighted with how well community cinema has been received at Duncan Place. Thank you to everyone that has been part of it. Our current cinema programme has now wrapped up; however, we are going to be receiving a small pot of funding to help us towards showing a further three films from September 2025. We’d ideally also love to put on a couple of pop-up screenings late spring/early summer. Watch this space! Keep in the know via our social media pages or sign up to our newsletter here.
Films we’ve shown so far include The Old Oak, Seven Songs for a Long Life, Adam, Everyman, Pride, Harold and Maude, Io Capitano, Save The Cinema, Restless Natives, Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands, and Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché.
We’ve accompanied some of those films with various things including a community meal, a death café, a film quiz, panel discussions and talks from The Welcoming, Girls Rock School Edinburgh and Engender, plus some musical performances too. Even the films where we’ve not had something after the film have been thoroughly enjoyed, as people have let us know that they enjoy the space to chat with other folks in their community about the film afterwards. Something that many feel they don’t get the opportunity to do in a traditional cinema venue. We'd like to say a huge thank you to the Local Cinema Project for supporting our community cinema events, and also to the community members in our film programming group who have helped to select the films we'll be showing.
