Touring programmes

The ICO works with partners to curate and organise touring programmes of film that would not otherwise receive a national release. Recent partners have included the Barbican (London), Brief Encounters (Bristol), Cornerhouse (Manchester) and Showroom (Sheffield).

When considering a touring programme we are looking for new or underexposed national and international cinema with cultural merit which we believe deserves a national profile.

We are always looking to work with new partners, helping them to bring films to a UK-wide audience.

Further details of touring programmes available for booking can be found in Now available for booking section.
