Dorchester Film Society has been showing the best of world cinema since 1958. Each season we show 18 interesting and highly acclaimed contemporary films.

Every season we aim to show a variety of films that would not normally be screened in local commercial cinemas. The majority of these films are foreign-language with subtitles.

We are members of Cinema For All and the Cinema For All South West group.
