Independent cinemas require ongoing organisational and capital funding for their vital cultural roles
Recommendation
Independent cinemas need and deserve organisational and capital funding to continue to perform their vital cultural roles in the heart of communities. Without it, there is a risk that the Culture Recovery Fund’s investment in independent cinemas will have been for nothing. However, supporting this part of the sector should not divert money from commercial cinemas, which serve a cultural function of their own and are also under significant pressures. (Conclusion, Paragraph 177)
