Message from Kinokulture independent cinema in Oswestry - a sad loss for the community
A Special News bulletin To all Of Our Loyal Audiences, New Customers, Friends & Supporters
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we have come to the very difficult decision to close kinokulture cinema at the end of March 2023.
We set up in Oswestry in September 2010 and are privileged to have been able to bring the wonder & magic of cinema back to the town over these past 12 years. Sharing laughter, tears, conversations, entertaining, educating, exploring new worlds and new ways of seeing through so many films.
2019 was most definitely our high point but then along came the pandemic with multiple lockdowns and just as we emerged from that we have been hit by the energy crisis and the cost of living crisis.
It is difficult enough to keep a single screen cinema going in the best of times but as we head into this unknown future of spiralling costs and lack of security on our tenancy we felt that this was the only decision we could make.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us over the past 12 years especially our colleagues at the BFI Film Audience Networks, the Independent Cinema Office and our film festival partners as well as all of you, our wonderful audience.
But .... we still have many wonderful films and cinematic experiences to bring to you over next few months!
Still to come this month we have 'Lost Illusions' & 'Peter Von Kant' as part of the French Film Festival UK, The special 50th Anniversary screening of Blaxploitation Cult Classic 'Blacula', the timely documentary 'The Oil Machine' dramas 'Emily', 'Juniper' and 'Hilma' and the Afro Futurist sci-fi spectacle 'Neptune Frost'.
In December we bring you 'The Banshees Of Inisherin'. Bill Nighy in 'Living' and 'Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical', two brilliant new films from master filmmakers with Park Chan Wook's 'Decision To Leave' and Jafar Panahi's 'No Bears' and much much more, so please do visit our website to find out what's coming up.
And March will be a whole month of special celebrations showcasing the very best of independent cinema with the return of the WOW: Wales One World & Borderlines Flm Festivals to our screen.
