Hull Screen, the only independent cinema in Hull. Council ran, and housed in the Central Library in the middle of the city centre, the cinema is currently being threatened with closure.

For many years Hull Screen has had a diverse schedule of films from several countries around the world (including the best of independent and local film production in the UK), mostly non-Hollywood, the cinema is the only out-let in the city for the films that the large corporate multiplexes will not show. Either because the films do not appeal to the masses, or they are of a controversial nature, the Hull Screen has never given-up and has always shown the widest range to national and international films from all over the world.

Hull City Council says that on the grounds of falling attendance it may have to close. Hull Screen has, and never had, a marketing budget. Printed programmes are financed by the stationery budget. So the cinema is a little known gem even in its own home town.

With an auditorium larger than many of the multiplexes that are around, and a screen bigger than any I have seen in any multiplex, which usually have screens not much bigger than glorified TV screens, Hull Screen is a true cinematic experience. Another advantage of Hull Screen is its discount rates, cheap screenings, and very afforable family Saturday afternoon showings.

A friendly and relaxed atmosphere, Hull Screen gives it customers probably one of the best evenings viewing they will have had in a long time. So if you are in Hull, support this Art House cinema before the Council see sit to close it down.

Its sad but independent cinema should be supported, somehow.
