The four-screen, recently refurbished cinema shows everything from micro-budget independent films to the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and often hosts festivals and special events.

Phoenix is a charity with an overarching aim to bring inspiring film and art to all, and was established in 1989.

This mission is enacted through its education programme, grants and events to develop upcoming artistic talent and efforts to widen access to cinema.

The cinema replaces the Phoenix Arts Centre, and maintains strong links with De Montfort University.

The venue was formerly known as Phoenix Square, and has been previously referred to as Leicester Digital Media Centre.
