Bespoke new location for leading film school as part of the emerging cultural hub in the City of London.
£12 million fit-out of 32,000sq ft space will provide state of the art facilities, extended accommodation, public outreach and space for industry screenings and events.
The London Film School announced that it has concluded a deal with the City of London Corporation to re-locate to the Barbican Centre. The LFS will move into space previously occupied by Exhibition Hall 1 on Golden Lane/Beech Street, which now also houses the new Barbican Cinemas.
At 32,000 sq ft, the new location will offer 25 per cent more space than the LFS’ current combination of buildings in Covent Garden, with the added advantage of being under one roof. The building will comprise a 130-seat main cinema, two sound stages, seven large teaching/workshop spaces and accommodation for technical departments and teaching – the LFS MA in Filmmaking trains across all the departments of film.
