Planning your visit

  • Check the programme first. Season details and the downloadable programme are published online later in August, so confirm titles and dates before travelling.
  • Arrive before 6.30 pm. The stated start time is "usually" 6.30 pm, so treat it as the target rather than a guaranteed curtain-up.
  • Location. The Berrill Theatre sits on the Open University campus in Milton Keynes — useful if you're coming by car or public transport into the city.

Background

OFS was founded in 1969 and has a history of screening films from around the world. If you want updates on screenings and season announcements, the society offers a mailing list sign-up.
