Belfast theatre to re-open

Queen's Film Theatre in Belfast, one of the British Isles' top arthouse cinemas, will re-open in early October … with a host of major improvements.

There will, reveals QFT chief, Michael Open, be "an expanded and much-improved" complex at 20 University Square.

The end of this month will see the completion of construction work which includes the original 240-seat cinema refurbished, QFT2 with a new 110-seat cinema and a new box office and bar in an enlarged foyer and circulation area.

All will be officially revealed at a planned press re-launch in due course.
