Strand Cinema

Strand Cinema

The Strand Cinema is an independent four screen cinema in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is one of the two remaining independent cinemas in Belfast, alongside the Queen's Film Theatre. It is located at the junction of the Holywood and Belmont roads.

Opening in 1935, the cinema's design was influenced by its proximity to nearby shipyard of Harland and Wolff, featuring curved walls and portholed foyer. The cinema underwent various unsympathetic renovations throughout the 1960s and 1970s. In 1999 the building was restored to its original Art Deco style, and remains a landmark in east Belfast.

The Strand is one of the main venues for the Belfast Film Festival. It screens classic films during the festival. During the 2005 festival the cinema celebrated its 70th birthday by screening "A Night to Remember" the 1958 film about the sinking of RMS "Titanic", built at the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard.
