As part of BFI Neighbourhood Cinema the ICO is delivering a series of training events to support new and existing community cinemas.
The fifth event of the year will be held on Friday 28 November 2014 as part of Screening Days South East, and will develop skills and information exchange around three key areas:
- The BFI’s Neighbourhood Cinema scheme including support and funding available
