It's been given a new lease of life
Nottingham's smallest cinema is set to reopen on Saturday, August 6 after being given a new lease of life as Mammoth, a Climate Change Cinema. The venue was formerly known as Screen 22 before it closed in 2015.
"Amy had to reroof the cinema and she built the rail for the old seats that she managed to get somewhere. She then put in the digital projector and built the screen that contains the speakers then ran the place for five years. It had a scheduled of films that you could go and see but I've heard stories of films screened on Christmas day and there were a number of proposals here too. It has a real history to it.
""The building was in a shocking state as there were leaks everywhere and no heating. The cinema bit was great but the fabric of the building was not. Anyone could have bought this and turned it into flats or a restaurant and then destroyed the cinema because it wouldn't have mattered to them. It's one of our motivations to save it as it's part of Nottingham's history.
"I wanted it to have a community element and I've been concerned about the environment for a long time. I've made a lot of changes with my own life and business to make sure we aren't a big part of the problem. As climate change got more serious, I realised it was time to start wearing my heart on my sleeve and make this a cinema about climate change. It's a way to get the message out there that we need to do more than we are doing.
