What to expect at the Curzon Cinema in Soho
The Curzon Soho was voted number one cinema in London by readers of Time Out, and it's easy to see why. The Curzon sits at a central spot in the heart of London's West End, and it offers interesting and art house films every day of the week. At the Curzon, they also offer an interesting and alternative programme of events that go above and beyond what you would normally expect to find at a cinema. Examples of these events are listed below:
Question and Answer sessions at The Curzon:
The Curzon offer a whole range of events above and beyond the normal cinema experience. One of the popular of these is their Q& A sessions. These are sessions where, prior to the film there will be a talk given by somebody linked to the film (perhaps an actor or director - in the past these have included Ken Loach, Gus Van Sant, Tilda Swinton and Mickey Rourke). You will be given the opportunity to ask a question to the expert. After this, the film is screened.
