Happy New Year from all of us at C Fylm! We’re busy planning all sorts of exciting things for 2020, but before we get started, here’s a look back at our best bits from last year.
2019 was our busiest year yet – we screened a total of 362 films to an audience of nearly 10,000 people, in 45 different venues all over Cornwall. None of it would be possible without our amazing volunteers who organise and run each club. This year there was a total of 1073 volunteers reported across all events – wow! Our network of community cinemas organised fantastic film nights, served themed food including curries, fish and chips, Cornish pasties and Mediterranean suppers, hosted quiz nights and parties and so much more for their local community.
In 2019 we had a whopping 27 screenings of Fisherman’s Friends across the network. The runners up were Bohemian Rhapsody with 25 screenings, Stan & Ollie with 16 screenings, Green Book and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society with 12 screenings each, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again with 10 screenings.
We currently have around 3000 C Fylm members across Cornwall, whose membership fees keep the scheme running. Thank you so much for your support – we couldn’t do it without you.
