Welcome!
Hi everyone, and welcome to Warwick Student Cinema!
We're a student-run, professional quality cinema that shows films up to 6 days a week during term time. With one of the best sound systems in the region, cheap tickets and a wide variety of films on schedule, we humbly consider ourselves one of the best places in the world. We even show films in 35mm and 70mm!
You can come to any of our many shows throughout the year — from old classics to recent blockbusters, we're sure we'll have something for you. You can even join our close-knit crew, by joining Front of House, Marketing, Publicity, Projection or the IT team!
We try to make everyone happy and feel welcome, so feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, and be sure to check out our schedule. You can find us in L3, a lecture theatre in the Chemistry building on central campus.
We love you already, and we really hope you'll love us.

Want free films for yourself and a guest?
Yes, that's right! Get involved with Warwick Student Cinema and you and a guest can come to as many of our standard screenings as you want for free.
What's the catch? There is a minimum commitment but it isn't much; a few reviews every term or stewarding once a fortnight, for example. Beyond that, there are plenty of opportunities if you're interested but it is really up to you.
What can I do then? Well, that's entirely up to you but we like to think there is something for everyone, be it stewarding films, training as a projectionist, helping to design our new website, or writing a film review for our booklet. Have a browse around the Get Involved section of our website, send us an email at info@warwick.film or just say hello to one of the front-of-house staff before or after a screening to find out more about the different roles.
Why should I do it? Persuade me! The simple answer is that we need you. The society cannot function without the volunteers who help keep everything running smoothly, so that our audience can come and see the film knowing they will have a great time.
But, what's in it for me? Aside from the free films, you will be part of a society that will develop your transferable skills and increase your attractiveness to employers. And that's not forgetting our regular socials.
So, what do I do next? Your best bet is to send an email to info@warwick.film or just say hello before a screening and we'll tell you how best to proceed from there.
