Publicity Officer - Matthew Colvin
Hi there! I’m moving into my second year now and while I may not have had any experience with how the cinema has been run in the past (or its strengths and weaknesses), I‘m really excited about the chance of helping out at this excellent venue. I believe that due to my lack of experience I’d be more suited to a assistant position, but that in no way means I’d put any less effort in. As for what I could bring to the role, I feel that my interests in the media sections of Imperial could be vital in ensuring that the cinema’s profile is kept high in college life. I regularly contribute articles for the student newspaper Felix and have helped out with Stoic TV as well. I’d be very interested in playing a part in publicising the return of the cinema and hope that I’ll be able to put my skills to great use.

Hi I’m Chandana and I’d like to be Cinema Soc’s chair. I’ve been involved with the club’s revival from the first meeting and have been treasurer up until now so I have a good idea of what needs doing to get the Cinema up and running again. At the moment I’ve got three main objectives:
1. Get the booth in workable condition as soon as possible so that we can start training projectionists.
2. Give everyone who’s interested a chance to train as a projectionist.
3. Let people know the Cinema is active again. Our success as a club depends on lots of people turning up to showings so I’d work closely with the publicity officers to advertise the Cinema to the student body.
I’ve also got plenty of other ideas but 150 words aren’t quite enough to detail them all! Sorry I can’t be there on the 23rd but I’ll be back in September and would very much like to take up Cinema’s reins!
