Film Theatre

Arts, Media and Design students enjoy the convenience of having their very own independent Film Theatre located on campus. The Film Theatre is dedicated to showing independent cinema from around the world.

Established in 1974, the Film Theatre ensures that a wider range of films are shown in Stoke-on-Trent. Our programme contains a wide range of independent, foreign (often subtitled) and more mainstream releases. The emphasis is on films which have either not been shown or have received a very limited release at the local multiplex cinemas.

Contrary to popular belief, the Film Theatre is open to the general public. Situated on Staffordshire University's College Road campus, the Film Theatre is independent of the university and operated entirely by volunteers.

All our films are screened using high quality 35mm projection equipment. The theatre is able to screen prints with Mono, Stereo, Dolby SR or DTS digital soundtracks. Our sound and picture quality has been continuously rated amongst the best in the region.

Additionally, for patrons with disabilities, the theatre is equipped with an audio loop system for use with appropriately fitted hearing aids. We regularly show films complete with audio description (when available). There are 3 wheelchair spaces available at the front of the theatre.
