Figures from the UK creative sector have reacted with cautious optimism to the £1.57bn rescue package for the arts announced by culture secretary Oliver Dowden.
Independent cinemas, alongside theatres, galleries, museums and music venues, will be able to access emergency grants and loans.
The package includes £1.15bn (£270m in loans and £880m in grants) for cultural organisations in England, plus £97m for Scotland, £59m for Wales and £33m for Northern Ireland.
