The Society

Flix was formed in November 1946 as the Loughborough University Film Society. The society used to organise and hold annual balls and quiz nights alongside regular film showings. Flix was an integral part of the Student Union building from its construction in February 1979 until the move to the Cope Auditorium in 2005. Since its formation the society has reinvented itself on numerous occasions, continuing to reflect the changing face of cinema and evolution of student culture.

The society is run entirely by volenteers. During term time Flix exhibits film screenings every sunday in the Cope auditorium.

In the Cope Auditorium Flix uses a 35mm Victoria 5 projector, which as a model can be found in cinemas up and down the country. Flix's customised 220 seet cinema also has DTS digital surround sound, which provides amazing sound quality to our films whilst projecting onto our 30 foot screen.
