Located in the potteries town of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The Film Theatre opened on 30th September 1974 in a purpose built cinema auditorium. It is situated on Staffordshire University’s College Road campus, and is independent of the University and open to the general public.
Programming consisted of independent and foreign films in their original languages and mainstream films, usually tending to be films not given a wide release. The policy is to not screen advertisements or trailers in the programme. It is staffed by volunteers. It was closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As with all places of public entertainment, the Film Theatre closed in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The part-time staff were made redundant, but a core team of volunteers remained in place.
Unfortunately, in January 2023, long after the pandemic restrictions had been lifted, negotiations with the building’s owner, Staffordshire University, about the Film Theatre re-opening were still at a stalemate. It is unclear what the University’s objections are. The Film Theatre volunteers say they have provided all the information and documentation that has been requested, while the University says only that the discussions are on-going. In the meantime, the Film Theatre remains closed.
