25.01.2022 Dear members and friends At this stage it looks unlikely that we can return our monthly screenings this year, but we will let you know if this changes. We hope to hold the AGM Thursday, 19th November. Stay tuned for more details.

24.01.2022 Welcome to 2021! Your favourite Film Society is back with a few small changes to keep us all safe. Our screenings have limited seating, which means we don't have room for guests or casual visitors in 2021 (sorry). 2020 memberships have been rolled over to 2021 and you can collect your new membership card at any screening. If you had a membership with us in 2019, we have sent you an email on how to renew your membership. If you would like to join the film society, a season mem...bership is $50 for the 10 films (bargain). Other changes that we are all becomming familiar with will also apply, such as QR code checkin, wearing masks when instructed and keeping a safe distance from others. We have another fantastic programme of films that we are thrilled to show you and we hope you will join us. Programmes can be collected from a brochure box outside of the hall. See more

15.01.2022 Screenings Postponed In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Barwon Heads Film Society are regrettably postponing our monthly screenings from March 2020 until further notice. We hope that by playing our part in the community approach to social distancing, we can better help keep our members healthy and contribute to reducing the spread of the novel coronavirus in our community. We are very disappointed to have to take these measures, as we know that you love the films as much as we do, and we will work on how we can juggle our program once we resume to get as many of this year's scheduled films screened. Please message us if you would like to discuss our decision and when we will be back.
