Film is an artistic medium that is of interest to many people.

In Guildford the provision of film is more varied than is generally realised.

The Odeon in Guildford and the Ambassedor Cinema in Woking cater for the mainstream taste together with a remarkably successful series of screenings at the Odeon under the NT Live (National Theatre Live) banner that offers live and recorded transmissions of significant theatrical and musical events from world class venues.

Guildford Institute and The Electric Theatre run film clubs and there are others based in Godalming (Godalming Film Society) and Woking(Woking New Film Club).

Arthouse and World Films are regularly screened at the Maltings and Haslemere Hall - and film is a significant part of the programme of events organised at Cranleigh Arts Centre.

Both the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and The Electric Theatre organise film festivals at different times in the year.
