What better way to accompany a festival celebrating the best in British independent film than with a British speaker company supplying the backing track?

The Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel in London will host the Cine International Film Festival, which opens on May 7th 2025. The four-day festival features exclusive premieres and screenings, an awards ceremony, panel talks, networking events and more.

As part of Monitor Audio's ongoing partnership with the Karma Sanctum Soho, the brand's flagship Cinergy THX, Certified Ultra speaker system will deliver the immersive score to every screening. In his StereoNET review, Tony O'Brien said Cinergy "serves up blistering volume levels with lightning-fast transients that punch you in the chest. It is a dynamic, thrilling listen that really gets the adrenaline pumping. It also creates a wonderful sense of space..."

Festival guests can also enjoy high-fidelity Monitor Audio sound throughout the rest of the hotel as well as at the bar and restaurant.

Launched in collaboration between Dreamtown Entertainment, Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel, and Goldfinch - the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning production company - CIFF will showcase the best of international cinema with a stellar jury through carefully curated international partnerships and programs.

Michael Johnson, Commercial Head, UK & Global Marketing Director, Monitor Audio Group told StereoNET:

To be able to sponsor the Cine Film Festival, creative film-makers and visionaries to deliver their vision at every screening - at its sonic best - is something we're very proud of. To deepen the emotional relationship and connection with the content on screen, through the power of our high-fidelity Cinergy speaker system and amplification is extremely gratifying.

At the heart of CIFF is a mission to give back to the film community. The festival proudly introduces the Goldfinch Academy Bursary, a charitable initiative designed to assist some of the most deserving new voices in filmmaking, providing them with the tools and resources needed to bring their creative visions to life. The festival is also supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust.

After years of budget cuts and underfunding, the festival aims to supercharge support for British cinema and shine a spotlight on its brightest talents. To further amplify its impact, CIFF will partner with international festivals and jurors, bringing a global perspective to London and highlighting the city as a thriving hub for innovative filmmaking.
