Cinemien and ODEON Cinemas Launch Pride Nights Across the UK
London, 30th of September – Cinemien is proud to announce a new collaboration with ODEON Cinemas to bring Pride Nights to audiences across the UK. Launching on 6 October 2025, screenings will take place on the first Monday of every month in 10 ODEON cinemas, with the programme initially running in selected locations.
The first films to be programmed include Love & Revolution (a bold drama about friendship, freedom and visibility), Born For You (a heart-warming story about family and unconditional love), OUT (a raw exploration of coming out), and The Bearded Mermaid (a playful tale of self-expression). Founded 50 years ago by pioneering women, Cinemien has a lasting legacy of distributing films by and for women, as well as LGBTQI+ cinema across Europe. With Pride Nights, Cinemien proudly sets foot in the UK, continuing its mission to amplify diverse voices on the big screen.
“Cinema has always been a place of discovery, reflection and community. With ODEON Pride Nights we’re proud to bring as many stories from our community as possible – stories that are relatable, inspiring and deserve to be seen,” says Ian van der Putten, Managing Director of Cinemien.
“Making the big screen a place where everyone belongs is close to our hearts at ODEON. We’re delighted to be introducing Pride Nights to celebrate the power of diverse filmmaking and storytelling. We’re excited to partner with Cinemien, drawing on over five decades of leadership in inclusive cinema, to spotlight stories that reflect the people we serve and the communities we’re part of,” says Karen Liu, Senior Film Booker at ODEON.
