Regular film screenings have recently ceased at the South Coast Cinema at Beachport.
The Railway Terrace facility has had intermittent problems with faulty projection equipment for almost a decade and there have been lengthy periods of closure.
There are hopes the equipment can be functional again soon. The current movies are being screened by a private promoter.
The cinema has also been the base for the Beachport Film Society since 1995 and it has run monthly screenings ever since.
Its first-ever screening in May of that year was the vintage Beatles movie “A Hard Day’s Night!”.
Charity screenings are also held at the council-owned venue and it is also used for concerts and meetings.
