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).
Doors open at 7:30pm for an 8pm film start and it promises to be a fun and social evening. Tickets are �10 each which includes a free glass of wine. There will also be a paying bar (which will re-open after the film) and a raffle.
The Lovely Bones is based on the Alice Sebold bestselling book and was produced by Peter Jackson, of Lord of the Rings fame. The story is narrated from heaven by a murdered young girl who wants to help her family heal and help her father find the killer.
