The Exhibition Department provides the final link in the film production chain, and is responsible for bringing the finished product to its audience.  It provides a vital service to the industry, as without faultless projection to the appropriate audience no film, however vast its budget, can be deemed a success.

Exhibition Departments may be employed in a variety of different organisations, ranging from small, art-house cinemas to large multiplexes, and from regional film festivals to national or international events.

There are a limited number of formal training schemes in the UK.  Some larger cinema chains offer in-house training.  Experience as an Assistant, or in other film-related occupations, provide entry into the sector.  A keen interest in film is essential for practitioners in this Department.
