Welcome 2011-12

Going out to see a film on the big screen is a very special thing. Our venue at Everyman Cinema, The Screen, Winchester is arguably the best in the county. We are delighted therefore to announce a new and improved partnership with Everyman Cinema that should see us remain at the Screen for the foreseeable future and result in an even closer working relationship than before.

Our season of films is always varied and challenging. We aim to cross countries, genres and periods in film history. This season we feature films from twelve countries including Chad and South Africa representing their continent. Highlights this year include a western from a female director, a couple of innovative animations and a soon to be crime classic from Australia.

Last season saw us take WFS on the road and we organised showings at the Discovery Centre in Winchester and The Point at Eastleigh. Our aim is to extend the following for world cinema and ensure that the fantastic works of art that don’t always get a showing in the mainstream get a viewing by a live audience on the big screen. Keep an eye out during the year for our “On Tour” specials and do spread the word about us to your friends.

Once again we are offering three different membership options. Full membership ‘Season Tickets’ are outstanding value; ‘Five Film Carnets’ are popular and you can also pay on the night.

All films are accompanied by a short introduction and complimentary film notes.

We are supported by a loyal band of regular members and we always offer a warm welcome to new world cinema supporters.

The Film Society is run by volunteers, and we’re always keen to welcome new recruits to our active committee and listen to suggestions for future screenings.
