Duncan Place Community Cinema: The Story so far!
Films we’ve shown in the past 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, Poly Styrene: I Am A Cliché, Much Ado About Dying, Life Is Beautiful: A Letter to Gaza, From Scotland With Love, Leithers, Heroin, The Holdovers, Moonage Daydream, Aliens, Everybody To Kenmure Street, and also a short film evening.
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, directors and producers, plus some musical performances too! Even if we don’t have something specific planned for after the film, there’s always time for folks to chat with each other about what we’ve watched together. Something that many feel they don’t get the opportunity to do in mainstream cinema venues.
