A new community cinema is set to launch on Victoria Street in the
coming months, as a transformation of the former magistrates court
building is currently underway.
As part of its ongoing Small Cinema project, which aims to explore
what cinemas used to be, arts collective Re-Dock is currently
developing the permanent facility, which will be hosted by Creative
Space Team Ltd, with the help of contributed materials, skills and
volunteer time.
With support being received from the BFI (British Film Institute) for
the cinema’s film programme, the venue will provide a platform for
local artists and filmmakers but will also screen a diverse range of
films said to be “different to anything on offer at bigger cinemas”.
Sam Meech, co-director at Re-Dock, says: “Whilst the seeds of the
project were sown a while back, the hard work has only just begun.
Right now we’re pulling people and materials together, and working
with local film programmers to put together an opening season of
films. We’ll begin building in a week or so, and we’ll have it done by
the end of February and begin screening in March with the Food For
Real film festival. It’s ambitious but I think we’ll do it.
“The programming team we’ve pulled together is so diverse - they all
have their own take on cinema. People can expect some really
interesting and powerful independent film programming – from

including sleeper hits and those films that got a limited initial
release.”
The team is aiming to create a “small, functional, volunteer-run,
sustainable facility” following a similar model to the successful Cube
in Bristol or Start and Shadow in Newcastle.
So far, is said to have attracted lots of interest and support, with

donations of timber, paint, tools and cables and the offer of help
from skilled joiners and people wanting to be a part of the initiative,
Sam adds: “We still need a fair bit of timber for the seating rake but
we’re getting there. We’re also still on the hunt for a fairy godmother
to sponsor us a projector and sound system, but who knows –
maybe we can crowdfund that. It will happen, someway, somehow.”
The Re-Dock team is also creating a community cinema project at a
former church in St Helens, and has already achieved a successful
project in Manchester’s Moston area.
