Curzon was honoured with the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema at the EE British Academy Film Awards 2017. The award was presented by Isabelle Huppert to Curzon CEO Philip Knatchbull.

Curzon is an iconic UK cinema brand with a history stretching back to 1934 with the opening of their first cinema Curzon Mayfair. More than 80 years on, this steadfast independent includes a nationwide network of 15 cinemas, distribution label Curzon Artificial Eye and video-on-demand platform Curzon Home Cinema.

Curzon cinemas are some of the country's most recognisable and cherished venues. Its central London venue, Curzon Soho, exists at the heart of the UK film industry, and has, according to Time Out, been known to make arthouse film fans “go weak at the knees”. Curzon Bloomsbury won a RIBA award in 2016 for its refurbishment inspired by the films of Andrei Tarkovsky. Newer venues such as Curzon Canterbury, Curzon Sheffield and Curzon Aldgate are part of an ongoing expansion which will see further sites open in Oxford, Hoxton and Colchester.

The distribution label Curzon Artificial Eye, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2016, champions the very best of new and classic cinema in all its diversity from Britain, Europe and around the world. Its catalogue includes works by acclaimed filmmakers such as Andrei Tarkovsky, Satyajit Ray, Claire Denis, Charlie Chaplin, Lynne Ramsay, Michael Haneke and Mia Hansen-Løve among many others.

“Curzon has a long and proud history in the British film industry and many talented and passionate people have contributed to its success story over the years.” - Philip Knatchbull, CEO of Curzon
