Comment on this story on the

ActOne Cinema will be launching its second screen this Friday (27 January) with a showing of Steven Spielberg’s new film The Fabelmans.

The film is a fitting one for the occasion because it is the Oscar-winning director’s homage to the importance of film making.

The new screen, which will allow a broader range of titles to be shown at the High Street venue, will boost ActOne’s revenue helping secure its future.

It was enabled by a crowdfunding campaign widely supported by local people in which brought in £155,000 including 85,000 coming from the Acton Business Improvement District (BID).

The money from the BID funded the state-of-the-art sound system and projector.

The air-conditioned viewing room has 60 seats and will allow more showings of work by local filmmakers as well as the hosting of comedy and music events.

 

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least two articles a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
