have enough members...?• Established club with accounts set up but suffering from
neglect?• New organisation used social networking from beginning?• New organisation yet to find time for it?

Cynical? What you can gain from social networking
• Traditional uses: advertising screenings, the organisation in general or special events
• Have you thought of...– Making connections with other film societies/community cinemas,
filmmakers?– Making connections with local and national press and publications or
bloggers?– Getting chatting to film critics/actors/distributors?– Making connections with local shops/restaurants/venues?

Case study: Newcastle Community Cinema
“One particular coup was born of a Twitter conversation with the LA based film writer Ryan Levin. Ryan had originally been a TV writer for hit medical sitcom Scrubs, but through chatting with him it emerged he had completed his first feature film, a horror comedy exec produced by no less than John Landis, subtly titled Some Guy Who Kills People. After several tweets, Ryan graciously allowed us to premiere his new film, its first showing in the UK. Not only that, he even sent us a to-camera introduction to his film, specially recorded for us. This caused a few waves for us locally and further afield, and again served to market NCC as a cinema that can land exclusives and premieres.”

Case Study: Otley Film SocietyMy first contact with the Director was via twitter . After that, a mixture of twitter [DMs], texts and emails worked fine as a complete way of maintaining contact. He also put me in contact with Leeds Young Authors, which led to a live performance/Q&A being possible following the film.
Both Dogwoof and We Are Poets websites then advertised the screening, but WAP also tweeted about it regularly, which meant that an even wider audience was informed. I did all the normal stuff – posters and fliers and local press article in advance – but I also used twitter, which meant that followers like Minicine were able to retweet and spread the word even wider. I also have the Otley Film Society Twitter account linked to my personal Facebook page, so everything gets instantly copied there to make sure all my personal contacts are covered as well. There were certainly new faces in the audience,I had directly targeted the local poetry society, school teachers [by phone], and even Ilkley Literature Festival.

Case Study: Otley Film SocietyI find twitter a great way to keep in touch with what’s happening elsewhere – at the National Media Museam, Cine Yorkshire, local film societies and cinemas, and of course BFFS, BFI, ICO etc.
Because the vast majority of the OFS audience comes from Otley itself, one of the most useful contacts I’ve made and maintained is with a journalist from the local weekly paper.
My advice to any other society would be to utilise all the social media opportunities you can, but don’t do that at the expense of maintaining traditional contacts and using traditional media.
Ideally, you need to have several members of the committee involved, rather than doing it all yourself – a situation I still somehow haven’t quite managed to engineer . .

Not convinced?
• Having an active social network will help you– Engage with a (somewhat) younger demographic
(why not recruit a student to set up your networks?!)
– Create a sense of ownership within your audience, make it a place where they can feed back or make requests.
– Look more attractive to potential sponsors

Reservations?
• “Our audience is mostly quite old or uninterested in this sort of thing”
• “We are a rural community, we can tell our audience about screenings as they’re just down the road”
• “We have a full membership – we don’t need it”
• “We set up a page but our audience didn’t engage with it”

Think outside the traditional marketing box.
• Think of the future, older audiences can only get older – engage the younger folks sooner rather than later
• Engage with other rural communities• Don’t get complacent • Look further than your audience – use it to
engage with other film clubs.
