As
many of you will know from recent press reports, Hull
Screen is to be transferred to one of the Reel Cinema
screens in the St. Stephen's complex.
We
are hopeful that this is a good way forward as it is the
only realistic option apart from closure.
We hope that you agree with us, and would like to
thank you all for staying with the campaign during the
past year. We
truly believe that without the substantial membership of
Friends, the outcome would have been very different.
We
leave you with this from the Yorkshire Post:
'The
company's [Reel's] proposal:
“Reel cinemas are keen to develop a diverse
programme that reflects the diversity of the community and
celebrates global events through arthouse cinema.
We propose in partnership with Hull Council
and Friends of Hull Screen to develop a series of
foreign language and special interest films in association
with community leaders.” '
It
is to be hoped that the existing staff will be treated
fairly; precise details will be released after next
Monday.
We
will keep you informed.
Very
best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Susan
Harr
Friends of Hull Screen
