ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
The indie screen culture we love has taken a battering. Coronavirus has closed venues, silenced exhibitors & isolated audiences. This is how we are responding.

Revive The Dark is an audience-backed initiative to support and celebrate alternative screen culture in London powered by funding from subscribers at RADIANT CIRCUS.
Supported entirely by our subscriber community, #ReviveTheDark will:
◆ Raise funds to help indie exhibitors get back out there
◆ Celebrate outstanding acts of exhibition with new Audience Awards
◆ Significantly expand our scene content and coverage at radiantcircus.com
◆ Create a community of subscribers committed to preserving the rituals of cinema
The more subscribers we get, the more we can get done. That starts with 40% of every subscription going directly to fund indie screen events across the capital.
3 benefits of a monthly subscription
- Save (a lot of…) time – we browse several hundred sites every week to compile our listings. We then send you comprehensive weekly guides, daily updates & monthly roundups so you never miss a frame.
