Welcome to your community cinema, bringing the best in film to Long Ashton
Long Ashton Community Cinema is a non-profit group run by local volunteers. Our aim is to offer a wide variety of good quality films at affordable prices on your doorstep. We aim to screen at least one film at month and we want our local cinema to be a social place where the audience can have a drink and a chat before and after the screening. We strongly believe that a cinema run by the community for the community can play a vital part in village life.
Bringing people together
Going to the cinema is great with friends, but not everyone has the same taste in film, so, if you are coming on your own feel free to drop us an email - or reach up on Facebook, and we’ll make sure there is a friendly welcome when you arrive, and someone to enjoy the film with if you would like that too. Our team of volunteers love a good natter, about films, or anything else so there will always be someone to chat to.
LA Cinema – how we are funded
As a community cinema we are entirely self-funding. That means we rely heavily on ticket sales, sales from the bar and sponsorship to keep us going. We gratefully received funding from Long Ashton Parish Council to purchase our own screen, projector and audio equipment. We are always looking for new sponsors and are willing to discuss with you levels of sponsorship and donation and what we can do for you in return.
If you would like to get in touch please contact longashtoncommunitycinema@gmail.com

“Deliciously waspish Ian McKellen lifts 1930’s London murder mystery with a strong supporting cast.” Wendy Ide, The Observer.
The Critic is a thrilling murder mystery, set in 1930s London. The film stars Ian McKellen as Jimmy Erskine, a ruthless theatre critic whose biting reviews can make or break careers.
Gemma Arterton shines as Nina Land, an ambitious actress caught in Erskine’s manipulative web, while Mark Strong plays Viscount David Brooke, challenging Erskine’s dominance.
The Critic is based on Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call. This gripping period drama also features Ben Barnes, Alfred Enoch, Romola Garai and Lesley Manville. Experience ambition, power and deceit in a film not to be missed!
The Critic (Certificate 15): Director: Anand Tucker. Cast: Ian McKellan, Gemma Arterton, Mark Strong, Lesley Manville, Romola Garai, Ben Barnes and Alfred Enoch.
