Join Sheffield Transformed for a film about activists driven by a variety of motivations to destroy fossil fuel infrastructure in West Texas. With a pre-film talk from local activist Alice Swift on efforts to resist fossil fuel extraction projects.
Converted from a 1930s art deco car showroom, the Showroom is one of the biggest independent cinemas in Europe – and we'd reckon one of the best. Between the screens and the bar, it's easy to while away whole days here.
Nestled in the lower regions of the University of Sheffield Students’ Union, Film Unit is run by dedicated volunteer film fans, screening a programme packed with cult classics, the latest indies and crowd pleasers. Added bonus: tickets are £3!
The world of documentary film descends on Sheffield each June. With fascinating factual films, innovative storytelling exhibitions and inspiring talks. Come back soon for our guide to the 2026 festival.
