Exhibition: Art House Cinemas

Electric is based at Nottinghill Gate. Usually they show art house films however recently they have been showing more mainstream movies such as The Hunger Games. The Electric is different from the mainstream cinemas, such as VUE, because it shows foreign films. Furthermore, The Electric cinema's screening room is designed in an olden days fashion. The Electric cinema itself only has one screening room whereas, The VUE  has a normal cinema layout with multiple screening rooms. An Arthouse cinema would usually attract 65% Females and 35% Males of the age range 25 - 45. This is because art house cinema's rarely show mainstream films and the films they do show would not have a target audience of less than 25 or more than 45.
