Creative Arts East Screen

Rural And Community Cinema

Creative Arts East Screen is a community cinema network made up of volunteer promoting groups in rural Norfolk and parts of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, who screen anything from the latest blockbusters and timeless classics, to live-recorded theatre performances, foreign language films and contemporary independent titles.

These screenings take place in non-urban areas which don’t usually have conventional cinemas on their doorstep. We provide portable cinema equipment, technical training, programming advice and special film licence discounts, helping communities come together to experience the magic of cinema in their local village hall or community venue.
