Specialist documentary cinema to reopen this week

The Bertha DocHouse is set to reopen on Friday.

Situated in Central London, the Bertha DocHouse is noted for being the UK’s first and only cinema dedicated to non-fiction.

The venue, based at Curzon Bloomsbury, is set to reopen with a collection of ‘Unlocked Docs’ – The Pandemic’s Essential Cinematic Triumphs.

Aimed at the documentary lover, the 56-seat cinema screens the best new releases, festival favourites, retrospective titles and curated seasons.

The cross-genre documentary programme is supplemented by regular post-screening filmmaker Q&As, panel discussions and events, 7 days a week.

“In our work championing documentaries, we are keen to make sure that everyone all over the world can access the incredible and vast-ranging resources and unique films that we’ve worked with up over the last decade.

“This is why we have created the Online Hub and our new streaming platform, which is often completely free to use to ensure that it is accessible to people all over the world.”  – Bertha DocHouse director and head of programming Elizabeth Wood

The Bertha DocHouse’s online programming is an opportunity for non-fiction fans to take a risk on titles they might not usually consider watching to expand and indulge their love of documentaries or develop.

The cinema is set to reopen this Friday, May 28th.
