About us:

Phoenix Square - Leicester

Set in the heart of Leicester's Cultural Quarter, Phoenix Square showcases the very best in cinema and digital entertainment in the East Midlands.

Phoenix Square delivers a dynamic mix of world-class entertainment and events, spanning the breadth of independent cinema, new media, creative technologies and electronic arts. As well as films, their programme includes exhibitions, performances, festivals, artist residencies, off-site projects, workshops, education activities, seminars and conferences. 

Broadway Cinema - Nottingham

Broadway is an independent cinema. Their aim is to bring you the best films from all corners of the globe, from Hollywood's must-see global blockbusters to the most indie, cult, quirky work around. 

In the last six decades, theyve grown from a Film Society run by enthusiasts into a 4 screen independent cinema, somewhere you can not only watch a movie, but where you can eat, drink and learn about film too. 

QUAD - Derby

QUAD is a cinema, gallery, cafe and workshop space that anyone can use. QUAD connects people and businesses to art and film for entertainment, education and participation. There are artist studios you can hire and a BFI Médiathèque which you can use to watch various videos. QUAD runs creative courses for adults and children. The cinema shows a range of different movies from old subtitle movies to the latest movies.
