Membership of the Wellington Film Society enables you to see a range of world cinema you won’t see on the big screen anywhere else. Membership gives you free entry to all our screenings.
Following the announcement from the Health Minister David Clark regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and large gatherings of over 100 we wish to advise that Wellington Film Society screenings are now suspended. This suspension will remain in place until the Ministry of Health advises that it is safe to resume.
For members who have joined / renewed this year please be assured we will extend your membership expiry period going into next year.
The details are here… WFS Announcement March 19
