Cinemas
The Distribution & Exhibition department ran several schemes to support UK cinemas, including the Digital Screen Network (DSN), and the Capital Funding for Small Exhibitors, Accessibility and Rural Cinema Pilot schemes.
Please note that no funding is currently available for cinemas.
- The Digital Screen Network, a £12 million investment to equip 240 screens in 210 cinemas across the UK with digital projection technology to give UK audiences much greater choice.
- The Capital Funding for Small Exhibitors Scheme, a £1.3million investment in cinemas to make refurbishments and upgrades to their facilities such as improving disabled access.
- The Accessibility Scheme, a £350,000 investment to help cinemas purchase subtitling and audio-description technologies that improve the cinema-going experience for people with hearing and sight impairments.
- The Rural Pilot Scheme, a £1.2million investment to give more people in rural areas the opportunity to enjoy the communal experience of cinema.
