Cinema Rising

With the death of cinema now a part of the annual news cycle, we are advocating for the art form any way we can. The podcast started in the spring of 2021 as a way to build a community of film lovers in the UK and beyond. 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.
