Tell us about your organisation
Cinema Up Collective is a Glasgow-based platform to provoke cinematic experiences, we basically have fun organising Radical Home Cinema which is an experimental pop-up exhibition event where film lovers and icons from Glasgow and Edinburgh invite you to watch films at their homes, studios, gardens or boats. We like the part of breaking boundaries between public and private audiences and portrait the city though our native restless hosts.
