Cinema Rising

Cinema Rising began as a podcast in 2021. Now, we are building on our original mission, and connecting people to all that film can offer through a programme of in-person events. Our focus has always been on exploring the full spectrum of film: from canon classics to cultural ephemera. This is the ethos we aim to carry into our events programme.
