What is a Film Society?

A film society is a community organisation formed by a group of enthusiastic film viewers who like to choose the films they wish to see.

It is a voluntary body, non-political, non-sectarian and non-profit making, consisting of members who pay a membership fee. It has a committee of management, elected by and from the members.

Film Society programs are designed to open the mind to the wider horizons of the Cinema. It is not expected that every member will enjoy each film but it is assumes that members will view the films intelligently. The Australian Council of Film Societies Film Screening Handbook

Guests of members are admitted free but must not exceed 3 per member per calendar year. Casual visitors are welcome however after a second attendance, a casual visitor must become a member. Visitors and guests are asked to make a donation to cover the cost of maintaining and operating the equipment.
