BFI Stephen StreetBFI Stephen Street

BFI Stephen Street is a BFI facility that houses member-only screening rooms used primarily for exclusive member screenings, industry events, and film festivals. Unlike BFI Southbank's public cinema, Stephen Street operates as a more intimate, private venue where BFI Members can enjoy monthly member poll screenings, special previews, and curated seasons in smaller screening spaces. The building also serves as a base for BFI's archival and educational work, occasionally hosting film festivals like Doc.London and NFTS events focused on film programming and curation.

While not open to the general public for regular cinema programming, Stephen Street plays an important role in the BFI ecosystem as a space for member benefits, industry screenings, and festival events that complement the main programming at BFI Southbank. The venue offers a more exclusive, boutique cinema experience for those deeply engaged with the BFI's mission, with screenings typically announced through member communications rather than public listings.
