With strong links to University towns such as Oxford, Brighton and London Picture House has taken a leading place in the art-house market.
Picture recognises the importance of both the quality of film and the quality of surroundings.
Each of the cinemas has its own distinct personality which reflects the interests of the local community and the progrqmming often varies from major Hollywood releases to the French New Wave retrospectives. Every Picture House has a cafe-bar, membership loyalty schemes and Saturday morning childrens clubs which have regular newsletters and encourage members to take an interest in an associated local charity. Additionally some Picture Houses run ambitious educational programmes. Each cinema publishes a monthly printed programme which features independent reviews of up-coming films, information about the cinema, details about special events, film seasons, and Picture House clubs.
