Film & Cinema Events in Brighton — Your Complete Guide
Brighton's film and cinema scene extends well beyond the multiplex, with an exceptional range of independent cinemas, film clubs, outdoor screenings, repertory programmes, and film festivals that celebrate cinema in all its forms.
Independent and arthouse cinemas in Brighton programme new releases alongside classic revivals, foreign language films, documentary strands and director retrospectives — the kind of curated cinema culture that streaming services can't replicate. Many of these venues are beautifully preserved historic buildings that are worth visiting for their architecture alone.
Film clubs are a particularly sociable way to engage with cinema in Brighton: they typically pair a screening with a themed drink or meal, and often include a post-film discussion that deepens the experience considerably. Drive-in screenings, rooftop cinemas and pop-up outdoor events have become a staple of the Brighton summer, offering a magical way to watch films under the sky.
Brighton's film festivals celebrate everything from short films and animation to horror, science fiction, LGBTQ+ cinema, and international cinema. Many are free or low-cost, with Q&As, workshops and industry panels adding real depth to the programme. If you're passionate about film, Brighton's independent cinema scene will more than match your appetite.
