Leigh Film Factory enters BIFA Cinema of the Year


Leigh Film Factory, the town’s independent, volunteer-run cinema nestled in the historic Leigh Spinners Mill, is thrilled to announce its entry into this year’s British Independent Film Awards Cinema of the Year Award, supported by Kia.
And local people can influence the outcome.
Run entirely by local volunteers passionate about independent film, the cinema offers a cozy yet impactful experience, bringing together the people of Leigh through shared stories, laughter, and film appreciation
“This isn’t just any nomination. It’s our community’s story on the national stage,” said Kevin Lowe, events operative.


“Leigh might not be the first place most people think of when it comes to cinema, but when locals vote, they’re showing that community passion matters.”
Now the power lies with the audience. If you’ve ever enjoyed a film, a drink at the bar, or a moment with friends there, Film Factory bosses say they would be honoured if local people voted for them:
