With the support of Film Hub North we have been able to not only expand the reach of our film exhibition, but also elevate the quality and immersive nature of the films we have screened. Film Hub North have been pivotal in our success and audience experience. - Women X
By joining Film Hub North, you’ll also become part of the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) – a UK-wide community of film exhibitors working to grow and diversify film audiences. Supported by National Lottery funding, BFI FAN offers additional funding, training, advice, and networking opportunities to help expand your venue’s reach.
Our members are cinemas, mixed arts venues, film societies, film festivals, screen archives, and other film-focused organisations (view our member’s map here). If your organisation screens films to public audiences or members – or plans to do so in the next 12 months – you’re welcome to apply. We’re looking for organisations that share our passion for championing film culture in the North of England.
