The National Film Theatre is the cinema of the British Film Institute. The bfi was set up over 70 years ago to promote and care for historically and socially important films. Since then the bfi's remit has expanded to include TV and other movinig image material.
The NFT exists to ensure that people get chance to see this kind of moving image material. We are not like other cinemas in that we do not screen "first runs" of films - i.e. we don't screen films when they first come out on general release. Instead we screen "seasons" which are collections of films themed around a particular director, actor, country or issue. Each month we have at least 3 seasons, which might include TV material, videogames, music videos as well as films.
The NFT also runs a programme for schools and other informal education programmes which encourage people to think critically about the moving image and to get involved in current debates.

City Screen has become one of Britain's leading independent exhibitors and prides itself on an offer which is the antithesis of the multiplex. City Screen has a deserved reputation for challenging and diverse programming in venues which are individually styled to encourage and enhance film-going. Each Picturehouse strives to be individual & independent in every instance.

The British Board of Film Classification is an independent non governmental body which was set up by the film industry in 1912 and has been classifying cinema films since then, with the aim of giving the public information which empowers them to make appropriate viewing decisions for themselves and those in their care.
In partnership with the BBFC, Cineclub have developed our own system of classification for the films streamed on our website.
The ‘P’ certificate denotes a film which is suitable for primary students, in other words suitable for all. Those films which have an ‘S’ certificate have slightly more adult content and are recommended for viewing by secondary students and older.
