NOTE 1: as is tradition for the last film of the year, the Hamilton Film Society will be holding an end of year party in the Lido foyer before the screening. This will start early at 7:15pm. Please bring a plate to share with fellow society members. See you there!

NOTE 2: Don't forget that, as an end of year treat for HFS patrons, the Lido has generously offered members the opportunity to see the new release Lean On Pete in a special screening on Monday the 10th of December, at 5:45pm. 
Full members can see the film for free: those with flexi-tickets can pay a discount price of $6 a ticket.
Lean On Pete is a US-set drama that featured in the 2018 Film Festival programme. It is written and directed by UK director Andrew Haigh, who made the critically acclaimed 2015 drama 45 Years. 
See you there too!

ABOUT US

Hamilton Film Society is a non-profit incorporated society and a registered charitable organisation. HFS is a member of the New Zealand Federation of Film Societies, which has been screening films throughout the country for over 70 years. There are film societies in Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury and Dunedin, as well as in several smaller centres. Each year film societies screen to an estimated total combined audience of 25,000 New Zealanders.

Film societies specialise in screening quality films from around the world: documentaries, features, short films, classics, director retrospectives and national cinema seasons. We showcase selected New Zealand films every year, with the support of the New Zealand Film Commission.

The annual Film Society season aims to take you further – to extend your understanding of film and film culture around the world and here at home. Film society magazines feature international and local film comment and criticism, and include a diverse range of views and beliefs.
​
Film Society membership is open to everyone. We operate on an annual subscription basis because (with just a few exceptions) we have non-commercial screening rights, and must screen to members only.  Your annual subscription contributes to programming services, venue hire and administration costs. HFS thanks Lido Cinema for their support this year, and all our local supporters, as acknowledged in our 2018 brochure, and the Schedule.

All film societies are run by committees of volunteers from the general membership. The Hamilton Film Society committee is elected at our AGM in April each year.

We acknowledge the generous assistance of Weta Digital, Institut Français, the Embassy of France, and the Goethe-Institut.  Programming by Michael McDonnell, NZ Federation of Film Societies.
