Sound of Cinema is the 2027 BFI FAN UK-wide season – celebrating the sonic half of the cinema-going experience and how it works with visuals to create a unique, dynamic and immersive whole.
Taking place May – October 2027, the season will mark the centenary of synchronised sound which gave birth to the cinema experience we now all enjoy.
The season will showcase those game-changing films whose soundtracks uniquely work with the moving image to create a distinctive cinematic experience as well as exploring how musicians and directors have continued to push the cinematic sonic boundaries.
If you’re a Hub Member and you’d like to find out more about the season – register to attend the Programming Discussion Day (Sprint) on Wednesday 2nd December, 2026 (at Watershed, Bristol, 10:30am-3pm).
