| About Us |
 |
| Auckland Film Society is a non-profit incorporated society and a registered
charitable organisation. AFS is a member of the New
Zealand Federation of Film Societies, which has been screening
films throughout the country for over 60
years. There are film societies in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston
North, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury and Dunedin, as well as in several
smaller centres. Each year film societies screen to an estimated total
combined audience of 25,000 New Zealanders.
Film societies specialise in screening quality films from around the world: documentaries, features, short films, classics, director retrospectives and national cinema seasons. The annual Film Society season aims to take you further – to extend your understanding of film and film culture around the world and here at home. Film society magazines feature international and local film comment and criticism, and include a diverse range of views and beliefs. 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. Your annual subscription contributes to programming services, venue hire and administration costs. AFS thanks Auckland Council and the ASB Community Trust for their generous support again this year, and all our local supporters, as acknowledged in our 2013 brochure, Close Up magazine and the Schedule. All film societies are run by committees of volunteers from the general membership. The Auckland Film Society committee is elected at our AGM in April each year. Current committee members are Alison Ashton, Simon Erceg, Hugh Lilly, Andrew Lockett, Natasha Loh, Jane McKenzie, Ruth Patterson, Craig Ranapia and Marjorie Sprecher. Next AGM is Monday 29 April, after the screening of Eraserhead – meet in the lobby of the Academy Cinemas. We acknowledge the generous assistance of the Embassy of France, the Goethe-Institut and the Confucius Institute. Programming by Michael McDonnell, NZ Federation of Film Societies. |
