What a weekend!

After a wonderful weekend of film and art, we thought we'd share some wise words from our guest speaker Clive Mantle.
When asked 'Why we need the arts?' his reply was.

"Whatever period you live in, whatever culture or country you are part of, the arts are fundamental to life.
They are the perfect way for the individual to be heard.
The first thing a hostile regime will do, when they take over a country, it will quash the music, the dance , the artists.
They will burn they libraries, the theatres, they will murder the writers to put an end to freedom of expression, of free thinking.
The arts are always involved in a spiral upwards, never down.
They are never a means of hostility , bitterness or fear.
They are a means of tolerance and understanding."

============***Announcement***=============
We have some good news and bad news…

It is with great sadness we are having to step away from the Scala project.

Another party is looking to purchase and renovate the building. Something we could never afford to do. Something that will cost millions.
We were looking to renovate the upstairs into a cinema, whereas this other party is looking to renovate the entire building.

It will be amazing for Worcester and the area.

For two years we planned , researched and gained grants (all given back now) in the hope of restoring the cinema, but it is not to be.

Heartbreaking as it is ….here’s the good news… we’re looking into The Gaumont on Foregate St.
The building has a phenomenal history with The Beatles, Hendrix and Cream all playing there at some point.
We hope to reopen it primarily as a music venue, but with Cinema screenings and Q&A’s with actors, comedians and artists as we had planned to do for The Scala.
The celebrities we had lined up for The Scala were fantastic and loved the idea of our non profit. They have all agreed to come to us wherever we end up opening .
I’ll keep you all updated as to the progress of the new project.
Thank you for all your support and messages, over 100,000 of you were interested in The Scala Project , I really hope you can come with us on this journey.

Hey everyone!,
In preparation for our Crowdfunder we've been asking actors and moviemakers to tell us about the movie that changed their life and why the arts are so important nowadays .
Here's a sneak peek of Mark Duplass , one of independent cinemas most prolific artists.
