Reading is a thriving creative hub, a nationally recognised Creative Capital and a BFI designated Skills for Screen Cluster.
Sitting at the heart of Cine Valley, Reading and its Creator Economy City of the Future has welcomed many major film productions over the years, either on location or in our studios:
BBC’s Dracula at Henley Road Cemetery | Killing Eve at Reading Prison | The King's Speech at Englefield House | Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire at Shinfield Studios | Star Wars’ The Acolyte at Shinfield Studios | The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power at Bray Studios
Reading is also home to a large pool of independent talent, including filmmakers and creatives brought together by Through A Different Lens and its film festivals.
REDA has directly supported and funded the production of independent film in Reading and also makes extensive use of film and video made locally in Reading to promote the city.
