The Next Few Months...
Welcome to our second season of the year at Reading Film Theatre, which marks our Fortieth anniversary – we opened on 12 January 1970 with Swedish director Mai Zetterling introducing her film The Girls.  Highlights this season include the latest entertaining Coen brothers’ A Serious Man (picture, left) and engaging newcomer British actress Carey Mulligan in the amusing An Education, supplemented by a choice of four contrasting French films.

Please note that doors open 45 minutes before the start of the film
and close 15 minutes after the film has started.
