About Embassy Theatre

The Embassy is a historic cinema on Kent Terrace in Mount Victoria, part of the Event Cinemas chain. Its main room, the Grand, is a 1920s auditorium with Dolby Atmos sound, and the smaller Deluxe sits below it in the converted orchestra pit. Both are the kind of rooms that suit a film chosen with care rather than a quick trip out.

The website lists Dolby Atmos and 4K projection, which deliver up to four times the pixels of a normal projector. Its programme mixes the big releases with the Italian Film Festival and the British and Irish Film Festival, which runs from 27 October to 18 November. Doctor Who: The Satan Pit is on from 23 November and Ken Russell's The Devils screens on Wednesday 21 October at 6.15pm.

Upcoming releases include Klara and the Sun from 22 October, Clayface from the same day, Primetime from 28 October, and Wicker, Godzilla Minus Zero and the Hunger Games prequel in November. Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three are on sale for December. Event Cinemas' Cinebuzz membership offers student Mondays and family film deals, and members can set the Embassy as their favourite cinema for offers.
