We are showing three films in October; a visually stunning Italian family drama, Vermiglio, and the first Iraqi film CFS has shown - The President’s Cake - a film which united the Viewing Panel in its praise. Then a bold piece of gothic cinema from Denmark, The Girl With the Needle, the bleak but compelling story of a young woman struggling to survive in post-WWI Copenhagen.

A tense, Swiss hospital drama, Late Shift, starring an outstanding Leonie Benesch (The Teachers’ Lounge), follows in November. You can also watch the gritty, political drama The Secret Agent, filmed with the atmosphere of a vintage 1970s American thriller which revisits a defining period in Brazilian history.

We end the first half of our season in December with DJ Ahmet, a vibrant, culturally rich drama from North Macedonia, and finally something very different, Hen - a hen’s eye view of a dangerous world, starring a hen!

ABOUT THE FILM SOCIETY

Cheltenham Film Society (CFS) is a volunteer run film society, which was established in 1945. We show international and independent films between September and April.

Admission is by annual membership subscription, and an annual membership will get you access to 18 films throughout the year. We programme the films in two seasons, September to December and January to April to allow maximum flexibility in film selection. Guest tickets for a film can be  bought on the door.

FIND CHELTENHAM FILM SOCIETY

We meet on Tuesdays, every two or three weeks between September and April. The films start at 7.45pm and are shown at the Bacon Theatre, Dean Close School, Cheltenham, GL51 6HE. Entry is from Hatherley Road, opposite Deacon Close.

The films are shown on a cinema-sized screen with excellent sound quality. The venue is comfortable, with tiered seating and good accessibility for less mobile people.

​There is ample parking nearby, but it can be crowded so allow time to find a space. Coffee, tea and snacks are available before films and the bar is also open before and after the films.
