| Introduction | This 6 week course will explore the hidden history of Nottingham’s cinemas. We will focus on cinemas that are no longer with us and uncover their rich stories and what they teach us about film going audiences. The course will identify 6 key cinemas and explore each through local research and individual investigation. Each week you will be given the opportunity to speak to family and friends, go online and maybe even visit your local library in your spare time to gather information, stories and nostalgia to bring along each week and share with the rest of the group. Over the 6 weeks we will build a picture of the history and personal stories that have shaped Nottingham’s cinema heritage, learn about Nottingham’s rich film history and how film audiences have changed. You do not need to know anything about Nottingham’s history or past cinemas to take part just an interest in local history, film and a willingness to take part. |
