Save Movie House Dublin Road!
Save the Movie House on Dublin Road!
It's one of the best cinemas in the city, out of the very few that we have. Losing it would be yet another nail in the coffin for the arts in Belfast for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority.

Why is this important?
The Belfast Telegraph recently published an article outlining plans to demolish the Movie House on Dublin Road.
"Plans are now under way to knock down the Movie House cinema on Dublin Road and build a £65m 12-storey office scheme with a capacity for 3,000 staff."

I believe that the Movie House on Dublin Road is one of the best cinemas in the city, out of the very few that we have. Losing it would be yet another nail in the coffin for the arts in Belfast for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority.
Any proposal to demolish this wonderful cinema would be yet another example of the rampant 'beigification' of Belfast.
Those of us who want to save the Movie House from such shameful fate need to fight for it right now. A petition signed by 1000s of people whilst an open consultation process is ongoing may just make developers think twice about demolishing our cinema.
We need the power of signatures to help us convince developers that the cinema is worth keeping and important to many people.
We must unite and reject any proposals to destroy our arts scene.
