We LOVE film!
We are a members only society which celebrates cinema by screening films that are rarely seen on the main circuit, with an emphasis on world cinema. We screen 18 films on most Tuesdays from September to May at the Borough Hall in Godalming.
The Society also supports Godalming Relaxed Cinema Club (GRCC) which screens films for those living with Dementia or Autism, or physical conditions that make access to multiplex cinemas difficult. To find out more click on the Special Events option in the menu above and scroll down to Relaxed Cinema.
All screenings start at 7:45 and the doors are open from 7:15.
An Additional Screening 8th Sept
In addition to the normal 18 films in our season, we are going to have an additional screening on Tuesday 8th September.
This presented in conjunction with Guildford Jazz Society who are having a September Festival.
We will be showing 'Ray' - a drama about the life of Ray Charles. It has great music and an Oscar winning performance from Jamie Foxx in the lead role.
The screening is free to members but is ticketed. If you want to attend you need to reserve tickets via the Guildford Jazz website

The usual timings apply - doors open 7:15 and the film starts 7:45.
Hope to see you then.
