About us

Independent Cinema Milton Keynes (ICMK)

Independent Cinema MK brings a wider variety of film to a wider variety of people in the city.

We have two key priorities:

Audience and Programme Development

Encouraging and Supporting Filmmaking Talent

Vagabond Cinema

Our Vagabond Cinema project encapsulates the spirit, determination and creative energy of Independent Cinema MK. Vagabond uses unusual spaces to screen films; working with organisations and communities to create individually tailored events, which have stimulated regular film programme activity. In 2009 MK Community Foundation kindly seed-funded the project, leading to some significant outcomes for Milton Keynes.

This year alone ICMK recorded 3936 attendances at events, screened 96 films across Milton Keynes with 33 artists, filmmakers and musicians, 14 groups and 52 volunteers.

Plans

We are currently fundraising for  Vagabond Cinema: RELOADED – we want to upscale our current screening activity and get our films and events to more people in the city. So ICMK is taking part in the Rotary Club’s 2014 Swimathon to raise funds for Vagabond Cinema. Please support us by donating to http://www.justgiving.com/Vagabond1 or you can donate very easily by texting FILM80 £2 to 70070
