| About Us |

Many distinguished and innovative films are never released commercially or shown on television in New Zealand. Film societies specialise in screening these quality films that cannot be seen anywhere else: documentaries, features from around the world, classics, director retrospectives and national cinema seasons. We also showcase selected New Zealand films every year, with the support of the New Zealand Film Commission. The film society season is programmed each year with the aim of enhancing members' understanding of world-wide film culture and our country's place in it. We do this by showing international work of the highest standard, side by side with New Zealand films. Film society magazines feature international film comment and criticism to help members form contexts for their viewing, and include a diverse range of views and beliefs. Programming services are funded by members' subscriptions and the 2009 Season is presented with financial assistance from the New Zealand Film Commission. In 2009 we acknowledge the generous support of Creative New Zealand, More FM and Dorothy Browns. 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. All film societies are run by committees of volunteers from the general membership. The Queenstown Film Society committee is elected at our AGM in April
each year.
