Free Film Screenings in London February 2015

Fall in love…with a film

I have often wondered why Valentine’s Day falls in the middle of February. I am sure there is a logical explanation but my alternative theory goes like this: February is the heart of winter and the only way to survive those short, grey days is the feeling of love! And what can be better than a love film that can be enjoyed regardless of your Facebook relationship status?

Now here comes a common fact: French know about love and so does Woody Allen (you can dispute that as much as you like!). Therefore there is no wonder that you’ll find a bit of both in February’s film list.

This month’s highlight seems to be Roxy Bar where you will find the super appealing offer of a meal and a film for only £12. Did someone shout ‘first date’?

PS. Like always, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films have a free entrance (check brackets when it’s not the case) but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance so hurry up!
