Earlier this month, we were delighted to be at the Chiswick Cinema for the first Exhibitors' Breakfast of 2025.

After a welcome from Head of Film Culture Paul Bowman and Chiswick Cinema Programme and Marketing Manager Chris Parker, Ti Singh from Film Hub South West presented on the upcoming BFI FAN UK-wide season, focused on youth culture.

Lily can den Broecke, Senior Manager of Film Hub South East, presented the upcoming BFI FAN CON 2026, which this year takes place in Newcastle. Click here for more information about FAN CON.

We were then excited to host a panel discussion on Sustainable Screenings - From Planning to Practice, featuring Green Mentor & Mustard Studio co-founder Mandy Kean joining cinema alumni to unpack Climate Action Planning in cinemas - with Kathryn Smith (Phoenix Cinema), Alex Jackson (Rich Mix), & Anna Paprocka (Regents Street Cinema).

It was fantastic to see such a healthy attendance on the morning, so thank you to all who attended. Exhibitor Breakfasts will return later in the year!
