Meet the folks who sit in the seat next to you every Monday night and get to know other members who love movies as much as you do! Listen to experts from the Wellington film community explore the films in this year’s program.
Hosted by our wonderful friends at the Welsh Dragon, just across the street from the Embassy, we’re excited to present a series of post-film gatherings. We want these to be casual, friendly and informal events. Everyone is welcome; we hope to see you there!
We’ve scheduled after-screening celebrations for the following films over coming months:
- Possession – 4 November at 8:15 pm
- All About Eve – 2 December at 8:45 pm – our big send-off for 2024!
We’ve also had some great evenings so far this year:
- Shiva Baby – 25 March – our first gathering for the year
- Silent Running – 15 April – a tribute to special effects guru Douglas Trumbull
- Fallen Idol – 13 May – a mid-series celebration of the great Carol Reed
- The Andromeda Strain – 24 June – a 70’s sci-fi review
- Heathers – 22 July – because it’s pure fun and a good time to connect before we break for the film festival!
- The Devils – 16 September – a romp through Ken Russell’s polarising career
- Edward II – 30 September – Derek Jarman’s explorations of queer identity
- India Song – 14 October – Marguerite Duras’ life and works
