This is a new initiative targetting special screenings at NatWest customers, and also supporting film societies and community cinemas, thereby:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>giving customers the chance to experience film in areas which don&#8217;t have easy access to cinemas or multiplexes<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the ways NatWest will be enabling this is by supporting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bffs.org.uk\/\">British Federation of Film Societies<\/a>, the national organisation for all community cinemas. We&#8217;ve certainly benefitted greatly from BFFS advice, support, expertise and training over the years, so this is a fantastic new initiative.<\/p>\n<p>The filming took place in the screening room in the Covent Garden Hotel on Monmouth Street, and I answered some questions about why film societies and community cinemas are important, and what the NatWest support of BFFS will mean for us. The interviews will form part of a short introductory film about NatWest Film First, which will be shown as part of some big outdoor screenings next month, and will also be online.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/23980231@N07\/6012528514\/\" title=\"Recording an interview for RBS\/Natwest Film First\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6030\/6012528514_ee25c55452_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Recording an interview for RBS\/Natwest Film First\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I trooped up to Covent Garden on 5 August to take part in a filmed interview for the forthcoming NatWest Film First programme.
