The latest movies and arthouse films
The cinema at Zeffirellis is where it all began - we even chose the name in homage to one of the all time great movie directors Franco Zeffirelli.
Some 30 years later and we have 4 screens in total - 2 at our Compston Road site and 2 further screens at 'Zeffs by the Park', our second cinema just 100 metres away.
Zeffirellis is an independent cinema that supports new and emerging talents within the world of cinema and the arts.
All screens benefit from Dolby® surround sound systems, air conditioning and induction loops. Screen 1 benefits from state of the art digital projection and we will soon be adding a further digital cinema at Zeffs by the Park.
