| Welcome to the web site for the historic
Curzon Community Cinema in Clevedon, North Somerset, in
the west of England. The original building opened in 1912,
and films have been presented on this site ever since. The
Curzon is now a community cinema, operated as a registered
charity.
We pride ourselves on offering a friendly
welcome, combined with the latest in sound and projection
facilities - including Dolby
Digital surround sound and a state-of-the-art digital
cinema projector. On this site you will find information
and reviews of the films that we
are showing, as well as information about the Curzon's
past, present and future.
You can take a virtual
tour of the building, and view the Curzon
Collection of historic cinema equipment. |

March
2009:
We're one step closer to major Lottery funding
 The
Curzon Cinema is celebrating the first round pass of its
bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
This announcement gives the Curzon Cinema
the green-light to develop its project, The Curzon Clevedon:
conserving and sharing the living history of cinema, film
and projection, which will combine the most urgent protection
needs of the building with the refurbishment of key interior
areas and improved presentation and interpretation. This
will enhance public access, experience and understanding
of the cinema building and the Curzon Collection of Heritage
Cinema Equipment, that together demonstrate the living history
of cinema from the early 20th century to the present.
While this does not guarantee that the £400,000
project will be fully funded, it means the historic cinema
has been awarded £31,700 to help develop a more detailed
bid for second phase of the awards process.
Hilary Neal, Chair of the Curzon Board,
said “In a difficult economic climate, when competition
for funding is tougher than ever, we are delighted that
the HLF has recognised the community and historic value
of the Curzon. We look forward to working with the HLF to
further develop our plans for stage 2 of the application
process.”
