Welcome to the Scalarama Shared Programme. Here you will find ideas and information about possible film titles or themes that can connect you with other exhibitors taking part in Scalarama.
Over the years, the Shared Programme has involved themes such as celebrating female filmmakers, showing films from specific formats such as 35mm or VHS and commemorating the works of cult directors. It also has seen distributors put forward titles to be booked during September and offering discounts on back catalogue titles.
