Save Our Screen Machine

Without urgent investment, the Screen Machine service will end. We need 
your help to fundraise for a new mobile cinema that will secure the 
service into the 2040s.

We are grateful for all the letters and emails of support you sent to 
MSPs and other representatives in late 2023. They were a huge help in 
extending Cinemobile's lease until April 2026. Nevertheless, the 
Scottish Government has yet to commit to any funding towards the 
approximate £1.7 million cost for a new mobile cinema.

While the extension of Cinemobile's lease allows us to continue to bring 
films to communities with otherwise no access to cinema, it is only 
temporary, and does not allow us to bring the full service that we want 
to. Cinemobile was not designed and built to be opened and closed as 
regularly as we require. It cannot navigate ferries and slipways as ably 
as our custom-built Screen Machine, and it cannot reach all of our 
communities, with the Isles of Jura and Rousay without service since 
January 2023.

We need a new mobile cinema and can no longer afford to wait for a 
Government response. We are today launching a crowdfunding campaign to 
raise at least £100,000 to get the project rolling. Its success will 
help us get started on the first phase of commissioning the build, and 
prove to the Scottish Government the value of the service and the urgent 
need for their contribution. It is vital that we raise these funds so 
the project can begin this year. We need approximately £800,000 to place 
an order and start the build, which will take between 12 to 18 months.

We are delighted that star of stage and screen, Alan Cumming, and one of 
Scotland's best known folk rock band Tide Lines, have thrown their 
weight behind the campaign by providing their time and talents to 
produce a short information film - Save Our Screen Machine - which you 
can watch above. The film was coordinated by Advertising Agency, 
Collective London, where there is a strong personal link with the Screen 
Machine - we'll tell you more about that in a future newsletter. 
Collective London, Alan Cumming and Tide Lines all gave their time free 
of charge.

Follow the links below to add your donation, as well as read more about 
our fundraising campaign and the new Screen Machine.

This is a once in 20 years opportunity to help us build a new and better 
mobile cinema that will endure into the 2040s. With your help, we can 
make this happen.

Thank you,

The Screen Machine Team
