Vote for Depot as

CINEMA OF THE YEAR

British Independent Film Awards

Voting begins Friday 22 August 2025

We love sharing independent cinema with you – and now there’s a chance to celebrate it together. 

We’ve thrown our hat into the ring for the British Independent Film Awards brand new category for CINEMA OF THE YEAR! We’re proud to be an independent venue at the heart of our local community here in Lewes, and we need your support.

Here’s the exciting part: the winner of the award is voted for by YOU, the audience.

If Depot has been part of your story, we’d be so grateful for your vote – your input could make the difference! If you have a Depot memory to tell, please leave it in the comments section of the voting form – the judging panel would love to hear your stories about Depot from the last 8 years.

It only takes a few minutes to vote at bifa.film/coty-vote/depotcinema

The first round of voting is open now until Monday 22 September.

Nothing beats the magic of experiencing stories on the big screen together, and we’re proud to bring independent film to our community every day. Your support means the world – thank you for helping us on our journey to become CINEMA OF THE YEAR!
