Wellington Film Society

Wellington Film Society The Wellington Film Society enables you to see classic and contemporary films in the cinema. We screen films twice: Monday at 6pm and then again at 8.30.

Occasionally the second screening is on Tuesday at 8.30pm. The Wellington Film Society enables you to see in a cinema, a range of international and local film you are unlikely to see elsewhere. We screen on Monday nights at the Embassy Theatre. Membership gives you free entry to all our screenings as well as discounts at most Wellington cinemas. Use your membership to attend Film Society screenings elsewhere – Auckland, Hamilton, Christchurch, Dunedin and other smaller centres.
