COMMUNITY cinema Saffron Screen is celebrating after hitting the �20,000 mark in its bid to go digital.
In order to secure its future, Saffron Screen - which is based at Saffron Walden County High School - needs to purchase �60,000 worth of digital equipment.
To achieve this ambitious target the cinema launched a Going Digital campaign and attracted Uttlesford District Council as the main sponsor.
For the next fundraising push, a series of special screenings will be held at the cinema starting with The Lovely Bones (12A) next Friday (April 23).
