Film Fans
Who are we? Members who like films, a lot, and not just your blockbusters and run of the mill films.
We especially like world cinema, and quirky, off-beat films that might be shown at film festivals but get little mainstream run time at most cinemas.
So, anyone can join the society (you just have to be over 16 years of age but there's no upper age limit and all are welcome.)
In addition to our core programme of 15 contemporary feature films or documentaries from around the world, we organize occasional film-related events in the local community under the banner of 'Special Events'.
Recently, this has included Mavka in support of the local Ukranian community and The Old Oak to raise money for the Harrogate and Knaresborough District of Sanctuary.
​
We've also supported the Short+Sweet Yorkshire Festival plus the Harrogate Male Voice Choir who were raising funds for a local church.
​
Our most successful event has been Harrogate on Film which has now been seen by over 1000 film fans.
​
We hope to bring more of these in the future. If you have any ideas, please get in touch with us via email (contact.harrogatefilmsociety@gmail.com) or speak to a committee member at any of our film nights.

Welcome to Season 69 which actually starts in September, but membership is open from Yorkshire Day.
​​​
Season 69 - Our core season comprises 15 carefully selected films from around the world and films are shown between September and April to brighten those dark evenings. We also anticipate offering another Classic Cinema season, perhaps some Art films and Series 2 of our Music Legends season. Additionally, further ad-hoc events and charity screenings.

We offer some pre-film social evenings and intend to keep our quiz evenings a regular feature throughout the calendar.
​
We ask you to score the films as you leave and welcome your comments too. For those who like to discuss films in more detail, we also offer several post-film discussion groups including a free tea or coffee.
​​
Free parking is available to all at the Odeon after 6pm,
but you need to collect & display the orange voucher in your car.​
​​
Please note that members do NOT need to book tickets or reserve seats for our core season events, just rock up on the night, flash your membership card, gain entry to the film and sit where you like!
If you would like to find out more about what we do, please get in touch using the email address provided in the Contact Us section.
