About the club

Sydenham Arts Film Club aims to bring interesting modern, classic and foreign language films to the local community at an affordable price.

On 12 May 2011, we ran an online survey to find out what kind of film club the people of Sydenham wanted. Here's what you told us...

Sydenham Arts Film Club was founded (simply as Sydenham Film Club back then) by Joyce Treasure, who was instrumental in setting up funding and getting the first team together. It has seen a few changes since since, but is still going strong.

We often work with different local oraganisations for screenings during festivals or summer, have a lively pub quiz at the end of the year, and sometimes have local film makers join us for Q&A sessions. There's usually great discussions after the other films too!

Sydenham Arts merger

After many successful collaborations with Sydenham Arts over the years, we came under their banner in late 2018 as their official film branch. This means more great screenings to come in the future as they expand their programming repertoire across the full year.

Sydenham Centre

Screenings are now upstairs at the newly renovated Sydenham Centre (44a Sydenham Road, above the post office) with drinks, local craft beers from Ignition (brewed on the premises) and nibbles available for purchase.
