Frequently Asked Questions
1.How do I apply to work at Cinemax?
All vacancies are advertised on our social platforms. You can also sign up to receive email updates when we post new jobs from across the industry. Please note: we do not accept unsolicited CVs.
2.How do I book films for my cinema?
Theatrical cinemas book films with their UK distributors. Most film bookings for theatrical cinemas are agreed over email (see our List of distributors for contact details). These booking agreements constitute film copyright licensing. Once a film is booked in, the distributor will supply your cinema with any available marketing materials and a screening copy of the film. If you’re starting a new cinema, bear in mind that most theatrical distributors require you to open an account with them and may ask for a deposit. You’ll need to register with distributors at least three to four months in advance of your cinema opening so they can process your application in time to confirm your bookings.
3.I’m an independent filmmaker and I would like to do an interview with Cinemax.
Absolutely! We love doing interviews with independent filmmakers; thus far, it has always been a pleasant experience for both parties. We feel that promotion of smaller, lesser-known films and filmmakers is one of the most important charges of bloggers and critics around the world. If you have a short film, a feature or something
4.How do I find out when a film is being released?
The easiest way is to go to the Film Distributor’s Association (FDA) website’s UK Film Release Schedule which lists films slated for release in the coming months and years (and those released in months and years prior). The schedule is frequently updated, and it’s not uncommon for release dates to change. Release dates are also listed in individual film records on the BBFC’s website and on IMDb (by country).
