Aims of Society

• to present members’ choice of films in a comfortable cinematic environment, that ensures the screenings are social events and promote interaction between members and with the local community;
• to encourage interest in film as an art form and as a medium of information and education by means of the exhibition of a wide range of quality cinema selected from all countries and all genres and;
• to promote the appreciation of film and encourage discussion.

Type of Films

• We screen films that are cinematic but not necessarily ‘box office’ but do not include films that involve extreme violence or pornography. Films may be current, only a few years old or very old and may even be black / white.
• Films are chosen by the committee with consideration given to members' suggestions, and from lists compiled by the FVFS and other film societies.
