Southampton has a vibrant community of filmmakers and film goers with a wide range of activities, pop-up screenings, network groups, several cinema's and an independent film society as well as being home to two Universities and a number of FE colleges offering  courses in film-related subjects. It's a great city to be Filmy!

Film related events take place spontaneously throughout the year and across the City but there are also different groups meeting regularly where you can find local minded film souls.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions clubs and meet-ups may be suspended but if you would like to find out more about opportunities in the city please drop us a line.  As City Eye moves closer to launching its own full programme in its new building at Studio 144, we look forward to establishing our own regular meet-up for anyone interested or engaged in film.
