cinema nation radio - episode 01: What is an Independent Cinema?

Welcome to cinema nation radio, the monthly podcast as featured on the arts radio station, Resonance 104.4FM. Each month, we look at the world of cinema, whether it's film clubs, film festivals, new arthouse venues or multiplex news. Our launch episode, hosted by Philip Wood and Michael Pierce, looks at the question of what independent cinema really means in the light of the Cineworld/Picturehouse acquisition, reporting on the potential 100% cut to the arts in Newcastle and picking our highlights from the February events, plus the latest news and some fine tunes.

Originally broadcast on Resonance FM on 31 January 2013.

Hosted by Philip Wood and Michael Pierce. Newcastle Report by Stephanie Oswald. Interviews with Gabriel Swartland (Picturehouse Cinemas), David Sin (Independent Cinema Office), Mark Dobson (Tyneside Cinema), Illana Mitchell (Star and Shadow Cinema), Graeme Rigby (Side Cinema/Amber Films). With thanks to Tom, Richard and all at Resonance FM.
