Since we began managing Film Hub South East in 2018, and after establishing our new strategy and schemes within the priorities of BFI FAN and BFI2022, we have supported a number of venues, networks, festivals and projects across the region.

Outdoor Screenings
Our Outdoor Screenings scheme is designed to support Film Hub South East members in holding exciting, inspiring outdoor screening events across the region. We are especially keen for screenings of British and independent world cinema titles and heritage and archive films to be shown in these screenings.

Programming Group
The Programming Group brings a committed group of cinemas together to grow audiences for cultural cinema. It’s designed to help selected venues develop local audiences for a broader range of films than previously shown. To deliver this activity, Film Hub South East subsidises the cinemas’ costs on selected film titles and supplies expert help and support around the screenings of these films.
