Pirate Cinema is a do-it-yourself cinema. Recently Pirate Cinema has been associated with groups in Brazil, Berlin, Copenhagen, Melbourne and Helsinki, where local Pirate Cinema groups are associated with the anti-copyright movement and squatting. At its simplest Pirate Cinema involved the screening of a movie in front of an audience, for free.

The film industry is fearing to lose control of which films we want to watch, how we want to watch them and how we produce new film.
