Write for our blog!

We are asking for pitches for articles on the Cinema For All blog. We want to hear from community cinemas around the UK about the issues that are important to them, the films they’re watching, or events they have been to. This is a paid opportunity, and all contributors will receive a fee of £50 for their work. We want to help give a platform to different voices and groups from within the community cinema movement.

Articles may centre around:

• Issues effecting community cinemas at a national level i.e. the obsolescence of physical media.
• International/national film festivals you have been to.
• Increasing accessibility and diversity within the community cinema sector.
• Film reviews.
• Equipment developments.

But feel free to get creative!

To pitch, please send a written outline of your idea and why you would like to write about it (200 words maximum) to pat@cinemaforall.org.uk with the subject line “PITCH: [insert article name]”. Please don’t send the full written article

Please note this is an opportunity open to community cinema organisers. Writers are welcome to reference their own community cinemas experiences and events in relation to their chosen topic, but please note that pitches relating to the promotion of a specific group or film programme will not be eligible for this opportunity. If you would like to share a case study with us to help celebrate and promote your amazing work, please get in touch with us at info@cinemaforall.org.uk.

Cinema For All values diversity and we encourage pitches from people of African or Caribbean heritage, people of South, East and South East Asian heritage, people who experience racism, LGBTQI+ people and people with disabilities.
