Regent Cinema

Screening 42ND STREET and GRAND HOTEL on Sunday, 11th September:
www.newforestfilmfestival.com/42nd_street_and_grand_hotel

The Regent Centre started as a cinema, which opened on Boxing Day 1931 with the showing of TheTaming of the Shrew. It was built by T J Rowley, who went on to be the first managing director.  In the mid thirties the proprietors were Portsmouths Town Cinemas later the ABC circuit.  It closed June 1973; the last film was John Wayne in the The Train Robbers.  It was then taken over by Mecca Bingo which closed in February 1982. When Christchurch Borough Council acquired the building in 1983 it became a community cinema and theatre supported by unpaid volunteers.  Its open every day with a small cafe, collectors market, craftfair, Poppets Pre-School, Family Chruch [Sunday morning] and lots more! Join us for our 80th Anniversary celebrations on the 10th and 11th September!

By supporting the New Forest Film Festival we are hoping to promote cinema, help this event become an annual institution and generate interest in our own theatre.

www.newforestfilmfestival.com/project_nim

Lymington Community Centre is the home of the Lymington Cinema, showing films 3 nights per week. These are modern new releases shown in our 110 seater Malt Hall Theatre.

We are also proud that the Lymington Film Society meets at the Community Centre regularly during the Autumn and Winter months, showing a selection of Art House and World Cinema. Updating of the Cinema was undertaken last year with new projection and surround sound system to enhance the cinema experience. Now that it is so easy to watch film at home via computer, laptop or mobile phone it is important to make sure that traditional cinema survives.

By supporting the NFFF Lymington Cinema can show the benefits of cinema to a wide audience. We look forward to welcoming a new audience to our much loved cinema.

Brockenhurst Cinema + Hampshire Moviola

Screening SOURCE CODE on Friday, 16th September:
www.newforestfilmfestival.com/source_code

Moviola have been bringing Hollywood to local communities within the New Forest for nearly ten years. We screen major release and independent films in local village halls and community centres that people living in more remote areas might otherwise have to wait to see on the television - or miss out on completely.
We’re a charity, so we try to keep costs down and offer a unique cinema experience. Because we like to make sure each show is a community event, you’ll find it’s a little bit different to what you might get in a city multiplex, and unlike more conventional cinemas, you won’t be fighting to hear the movie over the sound of other people’s chat or mobile ringtones.  

Although we also reach out to Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon, with 6 of our venues dotted in and around the New Forest at Ashurst, Burley, Brockenhurst, Frogham, Hythe and Ringwood, we are particularly proud to have been asked to take part in the 2011 New Forest Film Festival.
