GOING to the cinema may soon become as easy for people living in rural Scotland as it is for their urban counterparts, following the appointment of a former deputy director of the Edinburgh Filmhouse to a newly-created body dedicated to delivering cinema throughout the country’s more isolated communities.
Ron Inglis is the first director of Regional Screen Scotland – set up by Scottish Screen and Highlands and Islands arts journal, HI~Arts.
Thanks to increasing availability of digital screening equipment, he remarked: “The creation of Regional Screen Scotland is a wonderful opportunity to work with local and national partners to develop more and better cinema-going outside the city areas.”
