See Cinema
SeeCinema is the East Cambridgeshire rural film kit scheme. It is run by ADeC and is open to any community in Cambridgeshire. The scheme is free to join. Use of the equipment is subject to a small administrative charge.
There are two parts to the scheme:
- the physical equipment that you need to show films
- support with booking and promoting the films you want to show
The Equipment
The SeeCinema kit is a portable, digital cinema kit. It consists of:
- a data projector
- a portable screen (6’ by 8’)
- a DVD/VHS video player
- a sound system
The screen and sound system are large enough for up to 100-150 people to see a film, depending on the shape of your room.
The equipment has been set up for the scheme and is very simple to put together: no technician is needed. We ask groups that join the scheme to come to a free training session to learn how to put the kit together safely and effectively themselves.
The kit will fit in a car (estate or larger car, or smaller car with the seats down). It is not heavy, but at least two people are needed to put up and take down the screen and it is helpful to have two people to set up the projector and make sure it is properly focussed.
Support
ADeC provides support to groups joining the scheme. We can help you plan a programme, put together your budget, and promote your film. If you would like to use this support please contact ADeC and we will arrange one to one sessions with our Arts Development Manager, Events Manager and Marketing Officer, as required. We also promote SeeCinema films in the Guide, and there is a SeeCinema logo you can use to help promote your film.
We also help with booking films: there is a separate information sheet included in this pack with full details on how to book films.
