The cinema originally opened in 2006 as the Warehouse Cinema before becoming a Reel Cinema, converted from a former derelict carpet warehouse the cinema soon become an integral part of the community. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the doors were closed in March 2020 with the threat that the cinema would no longer exist. Renaming the cinema the “Lume” the doors were re-opened as soon as the Covid-19 restrictions were lifted but has encountered ongoing problems from the Cost Of Living Crisis, sudden rise in utility bills and supply chain issues.
The Lume Cinema has partnered with WEST MIDLANDS COMMUNITY CINEMA AND ART SPACES CIC to assist in raising funds and develop the project long term.
WEST MIDLANDS COMMUNITY CINEMA AND ART SPACES CIC is a not for profit Community Interest Corporation (CIC) supporting the local community in the West Midlands with essential access to cinema and the arts in all its forms, securing spaces and supporting venues to ensure that the local community is served for all its needs. So far we have reached out to local businesses to donate to our cause, so far we have had a local building company provide the materails and also install a new box office in the upstairs area (above).
Also a local Design Company has helped in redesigning the Lume logo to be used in the future (above). we welcome ay other local businesess to get involved.
Our aim is to raise funds to further develop the site and secure its long term future.
The funds raised will be used to redevelop the existing infrastructure including putting in place the necessary equipment to provide autism friendly screenings, dementia friendly screenings and Open Captions screenings for the Deaf and Hard Of Hearing.
Our aim is to also redevelop the downstairs area to make it a more fitting enviroment for local community groups to access in the long term as well as upgrading the cinema equipment.
