The aim of the Movie Bus Project is to bring a cultural and historical experience to North Devon, including the most rural communities in our area. We endeavour to inspire people to get involved along the way, while we create a record of our own history.
We’re looking for communities and schools that want to host a cultural event; this is an exciting opportunity to have a unique 1967 cinema bus visit your community to screen newly digitised archive footage of the local area.
The newly restored Vintage Mobile Cinema
The bus is the only surviving one of a fleet of seven that were built by the Government to showcase modern British production techniques. Today, it has been carefully restored to its former glory. For more information on the history of the Movie Bus, see the Vintage Mobile Cinema website.
You can also hire the mobile cinema for your own event. Contact us for more information.
The Movie Bus Project is a collaboration between the Vintage Mobile Cinema, the Museum of North Devon & Barnstaple, the North Devon Theatres Trust, the Bill Douglas Centre of Exeter University, the North Devon Festival, and the South West Film and TV Archive (SWFTA). It is being funded by the UK Film Council’s Digital Film Archive Fund administered by South West Screen; the Museum, Libraries and Archives Partnership; and the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Sustainable Development Fund. The project will run until March 2011.
