Hi everyone

We hope you are keeping well.

You may be wondering where things are at with Buxton Film following the announcement of dates for easing lockdown in the coming weeks.

As we’ve explained previously, the venue we use is kindly hired to us by Buxton Operal House and like the many other arts venues, they cannot open until the allowable audience capacity is likely to cover the costs and overheads that such an organisation is subject to. Until they feel it is viable and practical to reopen the cinema with all of its associated costs and risks we’ll have to wait.

It is hoped that the Buxton Festival and the Buxton Fringe will be going ahead in July and so it is likely that the cinema space will not be available until after that. If there is a possibility of some screenings before the Festival take over use of the space, we will certainly be ready to do that – we’re busy previewing a number of films that will be released later in the year and we’re adding the best ones to our shortlist.

We’ll be in touch with you as soon as we have something definite to report. In the meantime, see below for the list of the films we’ve added to our lending library.

Stay healthy and hopeful!

From all of us at Buxton Film
