Belfast isn't the best for non-blockbuster films so thank heavens for QFT!
Queen's Film Theatre, to give it its full name, is a haven for film buffs tired of big box office hits. It caters for art house and foreign language film lovers, with cinema spanning the globe and a little bit different.
You don't usually need to buy tickets in advance, but there have been times when my film's been booked up, especially if it's a re-run of a classic.
Pricing is normal for cinemas in Belfast - around £5 for an adult and reduced if you're a student - make sure you bring your card to claim a discount!
QFT's too upmarket for normal film food so refreshment-wise popcorn is nowhere to be found. Instead, think coffee and Stella Artois. QFT advertises itself as the only cinema in Belfast with a bar and it's great - the films shown are the sort you want to discuss and the bar is an ideal environ for a chat.
The best way to check what's on in the cinema is not necessarily by using the papers. QFT produces a booklet every month which gives a detailed run down of everything that's on, and has listings on its website for weeks to come.
I've been back to QFT many times now and I'm never disappointed, by the service, films or staff. If you're looking for a film that's a little bit different, QFT is the place to be.
