Leeds has a rich film heritage and a thriving independent cinema scene. Film has been part of our city since the very first ever films was recorded on Leeds Bridge in 1888. Fast forward to today, Leeds is home to some amazing film institutions including Hyde Park Picture House and Leeds International Film Festival. Not to mention, the city and surrounding Yorkshire countryside are frequent filming locations for some major television shows and films, including the likes of Peaky Blinders, and more recently Marvel’s Secret Invasion.
