Four Steps to Scalarama

Here are four easy ways to getting involved in Scalarama this September. You can do as many or as little as you want – it’s all about working together to share the excitement of cinema. From simply going to the cinema more in September, all the way to hosting your own film screening, Scalarama encourages everyone to connect with each other, wherever they are, through film.

  • See More Cinema

    Make September your cinema month and enjoy watching films on the big screen. Take friends and family to a trip to the cinema and join others in watching films together. Anything goes – comedy, horror, sci-fi, drama, romance – multiplex or local cinema – it’s all about the experience!

  • Explore Cinema

    Why not be a bit more adventurous and try a cinema or venue you’ve never been to before, or discover new films by taking a chance on a different genre, or a title you’ve never heard of? Scalarama invites you to explore a history of film and a world of cinema.

  • Be a Cinema

    Are you a film fan who has always wanted to show your favourite films to others? Scalarama helps you on your first steps to setting up a cinema with advice and offers. And if you are a cinema already, Scalarama has special offers on film licenses and themes to work with.

  • Unite Cinema

    If you are a cinema already or want more from Scalarama, why not connect with other passionate exhibitors and create a Scalarama group in your local area to meet like-minded people. Or support the wider Scalarama network by co-promoting events and sharing the Scalarama spirit.
