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

“A sharp, seductive 1960’s biker drama with stellar performances from Jodie Comer, Austin Butler and Tom Hardy.” Critic Wendy Ide, The Observer.
Director Jeff Nichols, who brought us the movies Mud, Midnight Special and Loving, now brings us this period crime drama, set in the 1960s and starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and the underrated, Michael Shannon.
After a chance encounter, Kathy (Jodie Comer) is drawn to Benny (Austin Butler), a member of the Midwestern motorcycle club, The Vandals. As the club transforms into a dangerous underworld of violence, Benny must choose between Kathy and his loyalty to the club.
The Bikeriders is inspired by the photo-book of the same name by Danny Lyon. Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw calls The Bikeriders “A Potent ode to the violent lives of the 60s biker gangs.” The Independent Newspaper call it “A tough, tender American tragedy” and The Evening Standard says actress “Jodie Comer roars into this full-throttle drama.”
The Bikeriders (cert 15), 1 hour, 56 minutes. Director: Jeff Nichols. Cast: Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon.
