Vote for Depot as

CINEMA OF THE YEAR

at the British Independent Film Awards 2025

The banner has a dark blue background with a white border, and light blue abstract shapes on the right hand side. On the left a small white banner with black text reads ‘Depot Cinema’ in all capitals. In the centre of the banner there is a white rectangle in the shape of a cinema ticket. The ticket is unevenly ripped in half. On the left, the smaller ripped piece contains the BIFA logo and black text reads ‘nominee’. On the right-hand side, black text reads “Cinema of the Year” in all capitals. Underneath, small black text reads “supported by KIA”. On the right of the banner, white text reads “Vote for us to win!” in all capitals. In the bottom right corner, small white text reads “Terms and conditions apply, visit bifa.film/coty-terms for more information”.

We are thrilled to announce that Depot has been shortlisted as one of the top five cinemas in the UK for this year’s CINEMA OF THE YEAR award – and we couldn’t have done it without your help!

Over 130 cinemas entered and over 100,000 votes were cast by cinemagoers up and down the UK. The final five nominees were selected by a specially appointed jury, taking into account the public vote and the cinemas’ contribution to their community, to environmental sustainability and to making cinema accessible for all.

However, the voting process isn’t over yet – and this is where we need to ask for your help again.

The final round of voting is now open until Tuesday 25 November at 23:00, with the winner taking the award for CINEMA OF THE YEAR 2025.

It only takes a few minutes to vote at bifa.film/coty-vote/depotcinema, and your vote could really make all the difference in what’s sure to be a close race against some other fantastic cinemas around the UK!

As before, 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.

Your support means the world – thank you for helping us take one step closer to becoming CINEMA OF THE YEAR!
