BFI Southbank
A four-screen cinema venue showing a huge selection of classic and contemporary films each year, with new and re-releases, film seasons, and director and actor retrospectives.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at BFI Southbank once we can safely re-open. But in the meantime, stay in and stay safe with BFI at Home, the latest new releases and curated collections of films, as well as the exclusive premiere of MLK/FBI on BFI Player, and our range of DVDs and other film essentials available online from BFI Shop.
As a charity, every gesture of support makes a huge difference to the BFI as we face another period of closure. If you can, we would be really grateful if you were to make a donation.
Thank you for continuing to support the BFI. It means a lot to us.
