Linden Hall Studio is an independent art gallery in Deal, Kent, that regularly presents curated film screenings, themed cinema series and film appreciation courses. Alongside our exhibitions, film forms a central part of our public programme - offering audiences in Deal and across East Kent the opportunity to experience cinema as an art form.
Our screenings range from world cinema and twentieth-century classics to contemporary independent work, often presented as carefully structured series exploring a theme, director or formal approach. Each programme is shaped with the same curatorial attention that defines our exhibitions.
