Spotlight

Spotlight is a UK-wide programme to boost cinema activity and increase audience choice in areas with limited film activity.

The programme, launched in 2023 by the BFI Film Audience Network, has invested in eight local areas across the UK to  improve access to screenings of independent film.

Spotlight a hyper-local approach to developing screenings in areas identified as having little screening provision by their local Film Hubs. The projects are delivered over three years, with an end goal of establishing audiences and screening activities that can be sustained and continue once this targeted support ends.

Spotlight 2023-26: Moray

Since 2023, we have worked in partnership with Eden Court Highlands to support cinema provision in Moray, in the Scottish Highlands.

Film Hub Scotland’s Spotlight Project Coordinator, Gražina Ščučkaitė, has supported a network of community cinemas to deliver sustainable, regular film screenings. In this time, Grazina has supported new cinemas to start regular screenings in their local area, Ardross Community Cinema (who bagged a Q&A with Alan Cumming for their first-ever screening!) and Cairngorm Community Cinema.
