Enjoy a month of cinema every September with screenings taking place across the UK and beyond, under the banner of Scalarama. From multiplexes to pop-up cinemas, everyone is invited to take part and celebrate watching films together on the big screen.
Scalarama reaches its tenth edition in 2020 and will be celebrated with a special edition: SCALARAMA X. We will be reaching out to friends old and new to dream about what cinema can be. Scalarama X will be a perfect opportunity to start a new adventure in cinema and support local projects. Film fans are encouraged to start screenings themselves – with the motto being Fill the Land with Cinemas!
Stay tuned for more info, coming soon.
Anyone can take part in Scalarama. Head to the About Us section to find out more about our history and our ethos, and if you want to get involved either contact us or go to the submission page for more info.
Event organisers in key cities often meet up and coordinate their events and shared marketing. This year, Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Nottingham have come together to show the best of their city’s cinematic offerings, whilst regional initiatives like Scalarama Highlands & Islands unite exhibitors from far and wide.
If you want to organise something in your city, there’s still time. Just drop us a line via the Contact Us page.
