The Film Place is self financing although it still reliant on grants for enhancements and from some financial help from Buckingham Town Council who help with funds to show films aimed more specifically at youth audiences and to keep childrens ticket costs low The Film Place is a venture managed jointly by The Buckingham Centre for the Arts and the University of Buckingham To give you some perspective on the popularity of the Film Place had already given about 420 film showings (or special events) to well over 20,000 people in its first five years of operation Our biggest asset is our pool of volunteers without whom The Film Place would not continue to exist Another way to help us is to become a "Friend of The Film Place"
