Flix cinema is back with a new arts focus

Flix student-run cinema is back with a new regular day and a new direction.

The campus-based cinema was facing closure last term but thanks to the support of volunteers, it is returning to Â鶹ֱ²¥ and this time with an arts focus.

Flix will be offering a selection of the best independent and international films starting with the critically-acclaimed The Shape of Water on 4 October.

The new season also includes the Oscar-winning A Fantastic Woman, theological drama First Reformed and the classic Cinema Paradiso.

New Chair of Flix, Conor Butler said: “We’d like to thank Â鶹ֱ²¥ University for and helping us find the wonderful people whose energy and ideas have led to our new Flix Thursdays. 

“The nearest art cinemas are in Leicester, Nottingham and Derby; we’re next to the so we decided to go for it and offer something different for Flix Thursdays.”

All films will be shown at 7pm on Thursdays and followed by a discussion group called .

In addition, Flix has again secured sponsorship for screening its foreign language films which means entry is free to all, whilst tickets for other films are £4 (£2 for concessions).

The full programme can be found on the or by searching on social media.
