Every Wednesday in term-time students can see some of the most exciting and innovative new films before their UK theatrical release and we are lucky enough to be joined by the filmmakers for some screenings. Previews cover the spectrum of international production, from low-budget independent features to Hollywood blockbusters and include animation and documentary as well as fiction feature films.
Cinema Club screenings are not open to the public - but if you're based in London, you can join NFTS students and staff at the Monday evening Passport to Cinema screenings at the French Institute.
