Our 2011/2012 Season is now complete

Leaflet coverOur programme of over 28 films from around the world shown in our 2011/2012 Season is listed below. We expect to be publishing our 2012/2013 Season here at the end of August.

If you would like to become a member you can join at any time. You can come for just one film, but we hope you'll come for more! We think seeing up to 28 films for the Full Membership cost of around £50 is a really good deal! Students' admission is at Union Films' box office rates. You can apply for Full Membership now or on the night you visit us.

Our films are shown in Union Films Cinema in Southampton University Students Union. This is a fully-raked 320-seat cinema with 35mm and digital projection with surround sound. We show the films in the best format available, with their original soundtrack plus English subtitles, when appropriate.

Films start promptly at 7.30pm: we do not show trailers or advertisements. Food is available from the Union facilities until then with drinks available from Union Films snack counter. The Bar is often open afterwards so you discuss the films' impact with fellow members.

We look forward to you coming and enjoying what we believe to be the best contemporary films from around the world.
