New times feel like old times in this melancholy thriller, as a German Jew flees a Paris in lockdown to a Marseille occupied by phantoms from a wartime past.

 About

Auckland Film Society is a non-profit incorporated society and a registered charitable organisation. We are a member of the New Zealand Federation of Film Societies, which has been screening films throughout the country for over 75 years.

Your annual subscription contributes to programming services, venue hire and administration costs. We value our associations with Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival, Show Me Shorts, Flicks and the Academy Cinemas. A big thank you to our local supporters, Time Out Bookstore, Metropolitan Rentals and The Surrey Hotel.

Auckland Film Society is run by a committee of volunteers elected from the general membership at our Annual General Meeting each April. Current committee members are Mark Andersen, Alison Ashton, Simon Erceg, Andrew Lockett (Chair), Phoebe Lockett, Jane McKenzie, Craig Ranapia, Carmel Riordan, Marjorie Sprecher and Dave Watson. The AFS 2022 AGM has been postponed – will now be held on 30 May, after the screening of The Killers.
