Join the Society OnlineEvery 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.
Our first season was 1958/59 so the upcoming 2019/20 season will be our 62nd! We currently have around 200 members and we always welcome more, so if you would like to join us please get in touch.
