Why Community Cinemas Matter

For decades, large multiplexes and streaming services have dominated the movie landscape—often leaving smaller towns, rural areas, and community hubs behind. Community cinemas are bringing back the magic of the big screen locally, offering a place to gather, share stories, and enjoy films that reflect your audience’s interests and values.
 

The LMFF Community Pass makes it easier than ever to host your own adventure film night, raise funds, and forge deeper connections within your community.

How the LMFF Community Pass Works

1. Choose Your Films

For just £50, you get access to LMFF’s entire shortlist—over 100 adventure films—to create a custom 180-minute reel. Tailor your selection to match local interests, from inspiring mountain expeditions to heartwarming nature stories.

2. Easy Licensing & No Royalties

Our filmmakers have granted community screening permissions. No extra fees, no legal hurdles—just your selection of incredible films ready to entertain your audience.

3. Download & Go

Whether it’s a village hall, a small theatre, or a community centre, the Community Pass delivers a HD reel for you to host high-quality screenings with confidence.

4. Grow & Fundraise

Ticket sales, donations, or membership drives—the Community Pass can help generate funds to support local projects including cinemas. Many participating venues have raised hundreds of pounds in a single event.

Such a great selection of films. With a nearly full house, we raised £95 and had a great night. The pricing is an absolute steal!
