Devon and Cornwall Film

Here’s a little known fact we tripped over on our way to the film listings - the cinema in Barnstaple (part of the Scott family) won the Independent Cinema of the Year award.

Now this is hardly hot off the press, the award ceremony took place in February, but it just goes to show the quality work that’s going on in the region that can easily be overlooked.

Treat yourself and follow the links to find out what’s on.

And in case you were wondering: “This art deco cinema was built in 1931 for the Gaumont British Circuit and has now been converted to provide four modern auditoria with luxury seating, full air conditioning and multi-track sound. Screens 2, 3 and 4 are located on the ground floor and are fully wheel chair accessible. Screen 1 has recently been refurbished and is at first floor level at the former balcony and is large and impressive with steeply raked seating, digital sound and a newly installed bigger screen now over 40 feet wide. This auditorium also has a limited number of Pullman recliner seats. There is a licenced café in the first floor foyer. A fifth screen, new toilet facilities and enlargement of screen 4 is due to commence soon.”
