The Torch Theatre Cinema Celebrations Case Study

Alongside their main cinema programme of blockbusters and independent films, the Torch hosted three cinema celebration seasons from September 2024 to March 2025 showcasing work in celebration of Black History Month, LGBTQIA+ History Month and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

These seasons included screenings of independent films made by and featuring people with lived experience of being a member of the Global Majority, the LGBTQIA+ community and / or living with disability. They hope to strengthen relationships with local audiences, building a welcoming programme of independent cinema in collaboration with partners across Wales.
