“Watched Marty Supreme here yesterday. Great experience. A very responsive crowd. The whole theatre has a great vibe. Nice art decor with a good drink and snack bar. Comfortable seats and most importantly... clean and well maintained. Good place to see independent cinema, although films, or basically cinephile-lover films.”

“A great place to watch an independent movie. It’s a charity so I was happy to see my ticket sale was going to a good cause. I watched the potential Oscar winning American Fiction. Great movie, great cinema! I post a full video review on this, you can find our channel The Olive Tree Family across all social media channels.”

The programme prioritises independent, foreign-language, and arthouse releases alongside award-season titles. A cafe-bar on the ground floor serves drinks and snacks before and after screenings. Seating across all screens is comfortable and well-maintained. The venue is a registered charity — ticket revenue funds its cultural mission.
