21cc Fireworks ‘Save Our Cinema’ Spectacle

Tonight, Saturday 2nd�April 2011,�Southside Community Council will hold a��Film �n��Fireworks��evening in St. Patrick Square from 7.15pm-10.15pm. �This is a free outdoor event to encourage the support from the community against the demolition of the former Odeon Cinema and we are delighted to be the major sponsor. �We�ve created�the grand finale to the evening�in the form of a�breathtaking�fireworks display. �This is going to be a unique spectacle. The event will start with some footage of the original cinema followed by an open air showing of ‘Local Hero’. The event will culminate with a fireworks display. �The�duration of the show will�be�short, sharp and spectacular. �The total sponsorship value for this event over the last few months will topple �10,000.

We�wanted to create something extra special for this event. �As an Edinburgh based company�we�re particularly passionate�about showing our�support. �After the outdoor films have been shown�in St Patrick Square,�this �big�bang��culmination will�bring the event to a memorable close. �By condensing the fireworks into a shorter time there will be a maximum impact to reflect the passion and effort that the Southside Community Council�and supporters�have put into saving this threatened building.

Director Geoff Crow said “It�s an important cause�for us�to champion�as we are a family orientated and community focused business. �We liked the fact that it’s a community event – and our business is all about bringing people together. �Rather than demolish the auditorium of this iconic building, it could be put to great use by creating�a haven for the people of Edinburgh to come together and appreciate or learn about arts and cinema. This�is what Southside Community Council is striving for and we back that.”
