Ushering in Summer Term

Welcome back to another term at Imperial. We at Imperial Cinema have a lineup of great films for you, starting with Lady Bird! As promised, since we couldn't get it for the All-Nighter, we have made it available for you first thing this term.

Following our poll last term, we are showing one screening of films in the first three weeks with subtitles. Thus, our Tuesday showing of Lady Bird this week will have subtitles. We welcome your feedback after the film and this will advise our actions over the coming weeks. Please note, we will not be showing any Marvel films with subtitles.

Get your Summer Term season ticket here! For only £12, you get to watch all nine movies we are showing this term. It's a steal! Also, you can get our Discount Pass here, where for £5 you get to watch one film for free and every other screening will be £1 cheaper. If you are watching more than two movies this term, it is worth getting the pass. Please note that neither the season ticket or the discount pass apply for NT Live screenings.
