About the fund
The Independent Cinema Recovery and Resilience Fund aims to bridge the significant immediate financial gap faced by independently owned cinemas during reopening and operation in the short-term. The financial support will cover a proportion of venue fixed costs until end of March 2021. The total budget for this fund is £3.5m. The funding comes from the Scottish Government.
We are looking for applications from organisations who are owned and operated in Scotland and who run independent cinema venues providing a year-round programme of primarily new release titles, and who show (or were showing pre-lockdown) at least 9 screenings per week on DCP.
