Shropshire Independent Cinema is a partnership founded in 2025 to curate fun and inspiring film-led events for our local communities and culturally curious visitors. Ludlow Assembly Rooms, Old Market Hall, Wem Town Hall and Wellington Orbit work with each other, local artists, young people and our partners to hand-pick films and events that express the historically independent spirit of our region.
The Rural Remix, 11-13 July, is our first joint creation, showcasing our take on rural life and landscape on screen.
One of our partners for this event is Ludlow Green Festival who have scheduled Six Inches of Soil for Friday night!
This year’s theme is ‘Food for Thought’ there will be many activities on the day that touch on all aspects of sustainable food. We’ve chosen to show the film ‘Six Inches of Soil’ during the Rural Remix as it highlights the importance of regenerative food production for the local food sector. Tish Dockerty, Chair of Ludlow 21 will introduce Ed Rollings, who farms at Perry Wood Farm in Kimbolton; raising sheep and beef cattle in a low input system with regenerative agriculture principles at it’s heart.
Ludlow Green Festival takes place on Sunday 13th July 10-4pm
