Queens Film Theatre



An annual audience in excess of 72,000 is testament to the sense of loyalty that has been inspired by this superb Belfast cinema over the past 40 years. Catching a movie here is far from what you’d get at your standard multiplex, with two screens between them seating more than 3,000 people allowing for an intimate film-going experience. The Queen’s Film Theatre shows a healthy mix of recent films and classics from the past, but a refined ambience doesn’t mean it takes itself too seriously - the programme organisers take care to present fun crowd pleasers such as the Rocky Horror Picture Show on a regular basis too.

That’s not all. As part of its commitment to instilling film at the centre of cultural life in Northern Ireland, the Queen’s Film Theatre will often host filmmakers to introduce their works, sometimes even stopping for a Q&A afterwards. The cinema also engages with schools and community groups to enhance learning alongside the national curriculum.

Another thing that sets the Queen’s Film Theatre apart from the competition is its bar. Relax before or after your showing in comfortable seating with a selection of whiskies, locally brewed or bottled beers, and cocktails, as well as a range of tasty snacks. And if you do skip the popcorn and feel your stomach rumbling after the film, the cinema has deals with several good restaurants in the local area that offer discounted meals and drinks when presented with a valid Queen’s Film Theatre ticket.
