Last year, the UK Film Council announced that it was spending £11.7m of lottery money installing digital film projectors in 209 cinemas.

In return for the new equipment, the cinemas have committed to providing more screening time to showing a greater selection of more specialised (ie non-Hollywood), classic, and foreign language movies.

That was over a year ago. So what has happened? My local cinema hasn’t expanded it’s range of films yet.

*update*
I emailed the UK Film Council and recieved this response:

Odeon Southend falls into the South East section of the DSN rollout, which means we anticipate the installation should take place towards the end of this year.
