Your Cinema is ​an initiative that showcases films for young people while authentically reflecting the BAME experience across the UK.

​

With individuals on incomes lower than £20,000 not visiting cinemas more than twice a year, ticket sales for the cinema are in steady decline as younger audiences find content that they can better relate to online.

​

Created for the provision of films to underserved audiences, Your Cinema is an initiative that provides a mainstream outlet for films reflecting the lives and cultures of 16-25 year olds from BAME from underserved areas in the UK.

 

Formed in partnership with Film London and Vue Cinemas, this consists of a series of low-cost screenings followed by a Q+A with a popular online personality.

​

This format provides a unique way for young audiences to engage with the cinema on their terms as it brings together their online viewing habits with the traditional cinema experience.
