THE UFP FILM CLUB
Our aim is to support and promote independent film, filmmaking and cinema. We also provide our audiences with access to films that may not otherwise receive a wide theatrical release. In short we show independent films to cultivate social and cultural experiences for our core audiences through film and creative led initiatives.
Please subscribe to our mailing list and follow us on social media to be kept in the loop on all things happening at the UFP Film Club.
All are welcome! Come join us!
