Community Starting a film club or community cinema is a fantastic way of getting people with a shared interest together and opens up a host of possibilities for adjoining events. Awareness Film screenings can be a great way to raise awareness on issues and to get people involved in a wider social movement. PR Create a buzz about your film, short or documentary by organising a film screening and inviting local press. Fundraising Putting on events such as film screenings can be a great way of raising money for your campaign. Support Independent filmmakers Artist and filmmaker James Static says, “We want to be part of a wider movement that offers an alternative, grassroots distribution channel to struggling film-makers. It’s difficult to get a small, personal film distributed when you’re competing against Avatar.”
