Search terms: Multiple words imply and (i.e. show all films that include: this AND that). To find a phrase, enclose it in quote marks – e.g. “New Wave” (note that word searches are case insensitive so this will match “new wave” too).

Word searches will return partial matches – e.g. ‘noir’ will match ‘film noir’ and ‘Renoir’. To return only whole words, use quote marks with leading and trailing spaces as necessary, e.g. ” noir”.

To exclude words from a search, prepend a minus sign, e.g. ‘noir -french’ will retrieve films whose description includes ‘noir’ but not ‘french’.

Tags: You can choose whether to find films that have all the selected tags (this AND that) or any of them (this OR that) by choosing the appropriate radio button. The none button will retrieve films that do not have the particular tag(s): DOES NOT HAVE this (OR that).

Audience scores: Not all films have an audience feedback score. If you set the score range to anything other than 0-100, the results will exclude those without a score. To display the scores without setting a narrower range, tick the Show checkbox. This will include films without a score if the range remains 0-100.

Sold out: We have only recorded whether a film has sold out since the 2022-23 season.

Seasons: Since 2014, seasons have typically run from September through to June or July. Prior to that, they ran from January to December.

Navigation: If you click into a film from the search results list, the Previous/Next navigation will retain the default sort order (by screening date with the oldest first). It will not reflect any resorting of the results table.
