April 14 2020: Following the announcement from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern that those of us outside Auckland will remain in Alert Level Two we wish to advise that Wellington Film Society screenings are now suspended. At this alert level gatherings are restricted to 100 people and physical distancing applies. This suspension will remain in place until we are back at Level One with no restrictions placed on gatherings.
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.
