We’re excited to share a sneak peak and update you on the progress of our new cinema, community space and some of the other exciting changes on campus 📽️
You may remember that back in November, we received £1.25 million of funding from the Office for Students (OfS), allocated to our very own @bournemouthfilmschool , the largest outside of London.
We’ve been hard at work over the last five months, putting that funding into exciting projects across campus, including upgrading SH001 lecture theatre into a fully-fledged 4K cinema complete with @dolby Atmos surround sound. This will be complemented by a new community hub we’re building on the ground floor of South House to invite industry onto campus and create new spaces for students and teaching. These spaces will be available to all students, not just those in BFS.
We’re also introducing a new space featuring a green screen and new technology from @viconmocap , making us the first university in the UK to have markerless motion capture available to our students. This comes as part of a wave of new and updated professional equipment that students will have access to across BFS and beyond.
These changes are still underway, and the team are hard at work making them a reality as soon as possible, so watch this space.

Come eat lunch with your local MP and talk about what actually matters to students.
Over the past few weeks, students shared honest experiences about safety in Bournemouth. Stories about walking home at night, harassment, unsafe routes, poor reporting experiences, and feeling unheard.
We didn’t keep that feedback in a spreadsheet.
We turned it into a formal briefing and sent it directly to:
• Jessica Toale
• Dorset Police
• AUB Safeguarding
Now they’re coming into the room to respond.
🥪 Lunch provided
📍 B001 Lecture Theatre
📅 Friday 8 May
🕒 12:30–2:00 pm
You do not need to have completed the survey to attend.
Come ask questions.
Come raise concerns.
Come hear what happens next.
