    Cinema Pass Eligibility Rules

    If you meet the additional criteria below, you could be eligible for a cinema pass. The majority of British cinema exhibitors and UK film distributors have agreed that, in recognition and appreciation of the contribution made by those BCTV members, who have worked exclusively or primarily in the theatrical sector for an absolute minimum of TWO YEARS, the BCTV can issue a pass for the benefit of such members which will admit them and a guest free of charge to certain film performances.

    Cinema Pass Criteria

    The cinema pass may only be awarded to those members who have worked in any capacity in a British cinema, in theatrical distribution or behind the camera production of a sufficient number of fictional, documentary or advertising films (whether digital or film) that have received a theatrical release in British cinemas.

    Any periods of time applicants have been involved in teaching, mentoring or lecturing on film related subjects at Registered Film Schools and University Film Degree Courses, could be taken into account when assessing eligibility for membership.

    The issue of the pass is at the absolute discretion of the BCTV and may be withdrawn at any time.

    I have read the Cinema Pass Criteria above and accept the decision made by the board*
