Welcome

The 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 NZ International Film Festival held each year in July/August, as well as discounts at Wellington cinemas and Aro Video.

Who We Are

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. 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 70 years.  There are also film societies in Auckland, Hamilton, Whanganui, 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.
