. The Old Gazette Film Society is a sub-committee of the Dorrigo Dramatic Club Inc. It was formed in 2016 by a group of committed Dorrigo residents to provide an environment to share film, food and conversation on the Plateau.
We are a member of the Australian Film Societies Federation who issue to us, for a small fee, licences to show specific movies to our members. Due to licensing restrictions, you must be a member of the Film Society to attend screenings which are then free. Members are allowed to bring one guest along per calendar year and a guest may attend twice before needing to become a member. It's a wonderful community event and a great opportunity to meet new people and enjoy films, food and conversation. Basically, membership is a bargain at $5 a screening. Members have the opportunity to see 12 films a year. You can see the films for the coming year on the Calendar.
Film nights are organised and run by volunteers. So please offer to come and help us serve refreshments or assist us with other tasks.
Please note: Apologies to members, due to extenuating circumstances we have had to change the date of our next film from 16 Feb to 23 Feb. We will screen "The Dry 2"sequel in 2024 as soon as we can access the screen licence.
Next Film: Past Lives Friday 19 April - 7.00 pm for a 7.30 start Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrested apart after Nora's family emigrates from South Korea. Twenty years later, they are reunited for one fateful week as they confront notions of love and destiny.
