ARCHIVE: THANKS TO: OTHER SITES: The Wellington Film Society Inc, PO Box 1584, Wellington 6140, New Zealand    Registered as a charitable entity under the Charities Act 2005, with donee status approved by Inland Revenue.   Registration No. CC41407 he Wellington Film Society enables you to see in a cinema a range of international cinema you are unlikely to see elsewhere. Membership gives you free entry to all our screenings. Full year members also qualify for generous discounts at the annual New Zealand International Film Festival held each year in July/August, as well as discounts at Wellington cinemas and Aro Video. We are a non-profit incorporated society, affiliated to the New Zealand Federation of Film Societies, which has been screening films in Wellington for over 60 years. As well, there are film societies in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Nelson, Canterbury and Dunedin, and several smaller centres. Membership also gives you free entry at any of these other film societies in New Zealand. Film Society membership is open to everyone. However, we operate on a subscription basis because (with just a few exceptions) we have non-commercial screening rights, and must screen to members only. It is easy to Join, and membership runs for 12 months from month of joining. We also offer an upgradeable "Three Film Sampler" to make it easier for potential members to sample our films. Guests cannot be admitted, unless specifically stated in the Schedule, in which case visitors are admitted as members’ guests and a donation is payable at the door. The Wellington Film Society is run on behalf of its members by a voluntary committee elected at the Annual General Meeting held in March each year. All screenings are at the Paramount, 25 Courtenay Place, 6.15pm Mondays from the beginning of March to the end of November (except for public holidays and during the annual NZ International Film Festival). The Schedule is on the following page. As with any list, it is subject to change due to circumstances outside the Society's control. Our annual programme, as well as appearing on this web site, is published in a colour brochure which is distributed widely around the Wellington area. You will find it on the counters of most movie theatres, libraries, book shops, cafes and other venues. We invite your comments. Become a Fan of the Wellington Film Society on  Facebook.

Thanks also this year to the Confucious Institute for the two Lui Hao films in September and November. A renewed relationship between our parent body and the International Federation of Film Societies has led to a connection with Cine Sud, resulting in the South American films in July and October, and the Iranian retrospective in September. Also Reel Brazil for sharing with us one of the films in their Film Festival. Thanks also to the NZ Film Archive for the loan of the piano for our silent film and to Cinema Paramount Limited for generously making their facilities available.
