Welcome to Our World of Cinema!

Whangarei Film Society Inc. screens a varied programme of high quality films. These include international festival releases, award winning documentaries, dramas, avant-garde and historic films.

We are an independent not-for-profit film society, and proudly claim to be "the largest littlest film society in the land"! We have an annual subscription of over 500 members, and as a volunteer organisation we are well supported by our local community with audience numbers often over 100 people attending our film sessions.

Whangarei Film Society: 2024 Season – our 21st year! 

This year, our film season will run from 5 March (AGM and first film night) until Thursday 14 November (final film night and social event). 2024 is our twenty-first season of celebrating film nights.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to no venues available at Forum North, there is NO FILM NIGHT on Thursday 31 OCTOBER. 

ABOUT US: We screen weekly film nights, Thursdays @ 6pm and 8pm, March – November. There may be some changes with screening dates due to Forum North venues not being available.   

We are located within Forum North, 7 Rust Avenue, Whangarei. Films are screened in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre.

COVID-19: While the NZ government has eased restrictions, mask wearing and being socially distanced is still a welcome practise when attending our film nights. Please show courtesy to others and their health needs.

Thank you for supporting these guidelines. Noho ora mai.

 ‘Film Club’ at Forum North is the spot where film lovers gather for a drink and to meet friends before Thursday  screenings between March and November.  

All residents and visitors to Whangarei are welcome at screenings. Cash & door sales only.

Tickets cost (per film) $10 for members & $15 for non-members. Cash is required (there is an ATM nearby at the BNZ, Rust Avenue).
