2022 Program

Happy New Year. Just look what we have in store for you! Let your mouse do the scrolling...

January 25th 2022, Tuesday, 7.30pm (Confirmed date change)

MOULIN ROUGE! (Australia/USA, 2001, 128 min, colour, M) Rated - M - Recommended for mature audiences. What a way to start start our film year. After two hours in Baz Luhrmann's world we were exhausted but in a good way. Starbox rating: 4.3 from 31 people.

February 23rd 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

WOMAN IN GOLD (US/UK/Germany/Austria, 2015, 109 min, colour, M) Rated - M - Recommended for mature audiences. Starbox rating: 4.7 out of 5 (from 37 people). One of our highest.

March 30 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

MYSTERY ROAD (Australia, 2013, 122 min, colour, M) Rated - M - Recommended for mature audiences. Starbox rating: 3.9 out of 5 (from 36 votes). Another hit with our audience.

April 27th 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

ROSIE THE RIVETER (USA, 1944, 75 min, colour, PG) Rated - PG - Parental Guidance. Starbox Rating: 3.5 out of 5 (from 36 votes). I want a rivet gun like Rosie's! It was PG because of all the shmoodling!

May 25th 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

TIMBUKTU (Mauritanian/French, 2014, 100 min, colour, PG) Rated - PG - Parental Guidance recommended. Starbox Rating: 3.3 out of 5 (from 29 votes). A smaller audience and a film which generated lots of discussion. No animals were hurt in the making of Timbuktu.

June 29th 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

MYSTERY TRAIN (USA, 1989, 113 min, colour, M) Starbox Rating: 3.2 out of 5 (from 40 votes). An eventful night in a Memphis hotel, for our largest crowd for the year, where we saw 'the blues' playout. Can you pick up a cigarette lighter with your toes?

July 27th 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

FORD v FERRARI (USA, 2019, 152 min, colour, M) Starbox Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (from 24 votes). Although illness prevented many members from making the trip those that made it to the starting grid were obviously winners by the chequered flag. A cracker of a movie!

August 31st 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

YESTERDAY (UK, 2019, 117 min, colour, MA 15+)

September 28th 2022, Wednesday, 7.30pm

The lost films of 2021...

Thanks to our too friendly Coronvirus, four of our programmed films went unscreened for the second year in a row. Now, we like these movies, all of them, and are planning something special by way of a Sunday afternoon double feature, in a secret location. This location is very local, sure to surprise and may even bring back memories for some. In case you have forgotten any of the missed movies, all four have been included below, and just like an old black & white silent they are hanging on by a whisker waiting for a heroine (or hero) to grab their hand at the very last minute... saving them just for us! Details TBA.

Date & Time TBA

DR STRANGELOVE (UK, 1964, 95min, B&W) Rated - PG - Parental guidance required.

Date & Time TBA

SARAH'S KEY (UK, 2010, 111 min, Colour, Drama) Rated - M - Recommended for mature audiences.

Date & Time TBA

THE FLYING DEUCES (UK, 1939, 69 min, B&W, Comedy) Rated - G - Suitable for general exhibition.

Date & Time TBA

THE OTHERS (UK, 2001, 101 min, Colour, Thriller/Suspense/Horror) Rated - M - Recommended for mature audiences.

COVIDSafe Plan for the final film in 2021

Things will not be greatly different for our final screening of 2021. The Victorian Roadmap requires attendees to be fully vaccinated. We would like you to Pre-book; QR code check-in on arrival with vax certificate linked to Service Vic app highly recommended. It will continue to be 'No mask-No movie'; Be a little bit early to allow time to check-in please (we can help with this). You can sit in household groups; BYO refreshments (sorry, no sharing outside your household group); Maintain social distancing and sanitise hands regularly; Our final screening is a seated event (no roaming & chatting). An updated COVIDSafe Plan will be uploaded as soon as it has been checked by HBCC. For booking details click on the green 'Learn More' button. Thank you.

2022 Williamstown Film Society Committee

Thank you to those members of the current committee who were keen to continue in their roles for another year. A special thank you to Dorothy Page, long-time President of the WFS, and Ross Dufty both of whom have stepped down from committee duties. We thank them for their contribution and hope to see them at screenings because we enjoy their company (and they know a lot about movies).
