HAMILTON FILM SOCIETY
Welcome to Hamilton Film Society
Important message from Geoff Lealand, HFS President:
Kia ora tatou. Folllowing considerable discussion with your HFS Committee and consultation with the Lido, we have decided to proceed with our 2022 screening programme, under the following conditions (with further details below);
* we will begin screenings at the Lido at 8pm on Monday Feb 21
* we have arranged to screen the same film in two cinemas, which will ensure adequate seating for members, with sufficient seat spacing and traffic control.
* subs for returning members have been reduced for 2022, to account for films we missed screening in 2021.
* couples or close groups will still be able to sit side-by-side
The Lido requires proof of a Vaccine Pass to be shown, before you pick up your membership and head towards the cinemas.
Please ensure you arrive early enough to ensure your membership is processed on the opening night.
Better still, renew your membership online, ensuring you put your name correctly.

Brochures are available at the Lido and around the city
The planned Feb 14 screening of Nashville will not happen as we feel that it is too long (2hrs 40m) to be the opening film, with a 8pm start, and not the best film to test how the new arrangements are working. The Lido requires the 8pm start but I hope we can return to a 7.30pm start in the near future.
We will screen a shorter film on Feb 21; ‘Summer 1993’, a recent (2017) , sweet Spanish film. We will look to find a slot for Nashville later in the year.
The two screenings on Mondays will increase our costs but we feel it is justified
