Films + Gigs + Art

At the Star and Shadow Cinema, we programme films, gigs, live art and exhibitions. Anything that we believe that is new, different, underground, original, and, we hope, good.

We show films every Thursday and Sunday night, at 7.30pm. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are open to any other kind of event (gigs generally, but the options are open - including to films). On Mondays and Tuesdays the cinema is closed, except for meetings. That's because volunteers also need some rest!

Volunteers - we need you!

The Star and Shadow Cinema is entirely run by volunteers, from film programming and projecting, to mopping, film writing, press work, gig organising and promotion, or the ever entertaining accountancy work. Anybody can become a volunteer - please become one, if you fancy it - we always need help!

We have regular volunteer inductions, on the 1st Thu of the month, and the 2nd Sat of the month. If you can to know more about getting involved, have a look here, or just show up at an induction.

There are particular tasks we would need volunteers for at the moment:

• helping to organise/promote/coordinate gigs
• helping with the promotion of several film seasons
• helping with distributing our brochure (come and help yourself, and leave it around the city if you fancy it - any time there is someone in!)
• helping with publicity in general
