Curzon is a UK-based entertainment provider that operates as both a cinema exhibitor and a film distributor. The company traces its origins to 1934 with a flagship cinema opened by Harold Wingate, whose postwar import program helped establish its discovery-focused ethos. Its UK venues offer distinct character across locations such as Mayfair and Canterbury and are equipped with modern projection and immersive sound, while the group has been recognized for its employment practices, becoming the first independent UK cinema to pay the Living Wage in 2015.

Curzon also runs Curzon Film, the distribution arm formed after acquiring Artificial Eye in 2006 and renamed in 2021, noted for releasing acclaimed independent cinema and for Parasite becoming the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture in 2020. In addition, Curzon launched Curzon Home Cinema in 2010 to provide curated cinema at home, expanding access beyond its theatres and continuing day-and-date releases of its titles. The company is headquartered in London, and a recent development includes acquiring UK-Ireland rights to Francois Ozon's The Stranger ahead of its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2025.
