The Silver Screen Cinema is an independent two-screen cinema, located in the historic Town Hall at the heart of Folkestone in Kent. Built in 1859, the Town Hall was an original site of the first film screenings in Kent in 1896, before being used as a Cinema De Lux throughout the early 1900s. Closed in the 1980s, it reopened in 1990 as the Silver Screen Cinema.

- Folkestone Documentary Festival 2026! -
Join us at The Silver Screen Cinema for Opening Night of the Folkestone Documentary Festival with this film about a love story like no other…

THE CYCLE OF LOVE (12A)*
An impossible journey. An extraordinary Love.
In 1977, PK, a 23-year-old Delhi street artist from a poor, ‘untouchable’ family, picked up a handful of paintbrushes and a second-hand bicycle and set off on a 6000-mile cross-continent mission – to find Lotta, the woman who had captured his heart. A love story like no other, THE CYCLE OF LOVE is an inspiring, heart-warming, epic true-life adventure about the search for self-belief and risking everything for what your heart tells you.
