 Testimonials

“Excellent service, really good, the guy knows what he’s doing. It’s nice that they’re trying to embrace a more social dimension to their activities, trying to widen the net rather just showing the latest films from the distributors and money being the only driving force.

Architecturally it’s a really beautiful place and the bijou size is perfect for small intimate screenings. It’s big enough to get a fair amount of people in there but not so much that you get lost.. And the comfy chairs at the back are absolutely top!”

Ian Cawley – South Birmingham College

"Our students rated their visit to the Electric Cinema as the best enrichment activity they did all term. Tom's talk on how he runs the Electric stimulated plenty of questions and gave us a lot of scope for follow up work in the classroom. The scale of the Electric was something they could relate to and they really enjoyed the style and atmosphere of the place - very different from the multiplexes they are used to. A really worthwhile experience"

 If you're looking to market to Schools the visit fits perfectly with the AQA "A" Level Business Studies Specification, Units 1 and 3 as well as Economics "A" level courses involving competition and theory of the firm.
