Our last film of the 2012/2013 Season...

Our programme of over 28 films from around the world is listed below. Wednesday, 15 May, was our last presentation of the Season. It was also the last chance to subscribe to our Advance Early Bird offer for 2013/14 membership: About three-quarters of you renewed! Postal application for memberships will open mid-Summer.

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 30 films for the Full Membership cost of around £60 is a really good deal! You can apply for Full Membership now or on the night you visit us. Students' admission is at Union Films' box office rates. Even cheaper is to become a Student Phoenix Season Member for just £39!

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 are shown on Wednesdays (except where stated) and 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.
