Established in October 1999 with the much valued contribution of the Arts Picturehouse Cambridge management, the aim of the U3AC Film Group is to show a wide range of the best in both historic and contemporary world cinema from all countries, generations and genres, and our programmes take a robust and adventurous approach to the history of cinema. The Group’s shows take place at the Arts Picturehouse every Tuesday during term time, and our films are shown in Screen 2 or mainly in Screen 3. There are no ads or trailers which means that all of our films commence promptly at 1.00 pm other than when an epic or exceptionally lengthy film is shown, and members are kindly requested to adhere to the start time of 1.00 pm as a dark cinema can be hazardous. Members are most welcome to attend our post screen discussions and to make suggestions for future showings.

Please note that the cost of our season of Tuesday shows is £45 per term and that until further notice our seasons at Picturehouse Cambridge will be subject to such government guidelines and Picturehouse procedures and arrangements as may be in force. Although government Covid restrictions have been lifted members are kindly requested to be mindful of others in terms of social distancing etc and the Picturehouse guidelines. The cost of an individual film is at the usual Silver Screen cost, and overall season membership is only valid for the season in question.

Members are kindly requested to ensure that all electronic devices are switched off or in the case of mobile phones switched to silent mode, and under no circumstances should photography/filming take place in the cinema.
