Independent visions

Discover new cult favourites and enjoy underground hits in our latest strand.

Our new film strand, Independent Visions, celebrates the lo-fi, experimental and cult. 

Working in partnership with Brighton-based film distributors, Bulldog and starting properly in January, expect monthly screenings showcasing new must-sees as well as recent greats and underground hits you may have missed.

Each film screening will be hosted by Philip Hoile, charismatic cinephile and independent film expert, and include on-stage or zoom intros or interviews with these contemporary filmmakers - plus a chance to get your hands on free merch and posters!
