Cheltenham Film Society

	CHELTENHAM FILM SOCIETY
2012/2013 67th Season
About the society … we have been thriving in Cheltenham for over 60 years, and currently have over 400 members - of different ages, backgrounds and interests. We are not an art house or academic society, but we aim to stimulate interest in different aspects of world cinema by showing excellent films from a range of directors in different genres.
Most of our films are in foreign languages (always shown with English subtitles), but we also show a few lesser-known UK/US films. In our selection we look for films that may give an insight into foreign cultures, that make the audience think, that provide a fresh slant on modern political or moral issues, that illustrate novel film making techniques, or demonstrate plain brilliant acting. Or maybe films that offer a new perspective on the human condition, or just tell a cracking good story! We think you'll find something of interest and merit in all of our choices.

Donations Update

The funds our members have generously agreed to donate will make a real difference to film around Cheltenham. The funds are mostly going to encourage young, local talent in film making, and will be looking to our members to provide their usual robust, critical and constructive feedback to these budding Almodovars and Makhmalbafs. Never before will the students have made films knowing they will get such a good audience!
