Join the staff and trustees of The Phoenix for this free event which gives an insight into how we run the UK’s oldest purpose-built cinema. There will be short presentations about what films we play and why, the education work we do, how we manage to remain competitive, and what’s happening with our Centenary Restoration Project among other topics. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask us about anything else you’d like to know. Following the event we’ll be screening Neil Jordon’s film, a scene from which was shot at The Phoenix.
