Welcome to Reading Film Theatre (RFT)
RFT is your local not-for-profit independent cinema. We are based in the Palmer Building on the University of Reading’s Whiteknights campus and we are open to everyone. Our large auditorium seats 400, has a full-sized screen and Dolby sound. Ticket prices are kept low to benefit all.
We show a range of independent, art-house and foreign language films (subtitled in English) as well as the occasional blockbuster. The majority of our films are recent releases but we sometimes screen a classic, and we specialise in events with pre-film talks and introductions.
RFT was established over 40 years ago. It is run by volunteers who are passionate about film. Our aim is to bring the very best in world cinema to you. We welcome you to join us at screenings and invite your comments and input.
