The Phoenix - formally Southampton Film Theatre - has been showing world film in Southampton since 1931. For 2010/11 it is joining with Union Films so that both Phoenix members and Union Films members can enjoy the best of world cinema together.

The Phoenix is a volunteer-run film society and is always interested in the views of its members. The programme is influenced by audience reaction to films, measured at each showing, including suggestions and comments.

Films will be shown in Union Films Cinema at the Southampton University Students Union. Union Films has a fine, fully-raked cinema with 35mm and digital projection capabilities with digital surround sound. Foreign language films are shown with their original soundtrack with English subtitles.

The Phoenix's new programme of 27 films from around the world is listed below and their new-look brochure will be posted to members in early September and will appear 'on the streets' about then too.

If you would like to become a member of The Phoenix you can join at any time. You can come for just one film but we hope you'll come for more! We think 27 films for the Full Membership cost of around £50 is a really good deal - and The Phoenix have held their prices for Early Bird applications!

Films are starting at 7.30pm. Food is available from Cafe SUSU until then. Alcoholic and soft drinks are available from the Bridge Bar or Union Films snack counter. The Phoenix and Union Films look forward to you enjoying with us some of the best contemporary films from around the world.
