The Macedon Ranges Film Society is a membership-based club.

We are an incorporated, not-for-profit organisation, run entirely by volunteers.

We aim to encourage interest in film as an art form and as a medium of information, social awareness and education by means of the exhibition of a wide range of quality cinema selected from all countries and all genres.

We do not operate as a commercial cinema but as a club. Our film screening rights agreement with Distributors means we cannot sell tickets for individual films; only financial members are able to attend screenings.

MEMBERSHIP FOR 2026 IS FULLY SUBSCRIBED.

Membership for 2027 will open in late November 2026.

If you are not a current member but would like to join please register your details with our secretary - mrfilmsociety@gmail.com

Our film night is the second Friday of the month, February to December,

(no film in January).

We meet at the Norma Richardson Hall

15 Buckland St. Woodend 3442

The annual membership fee is $80 and covers our operating expenses, including;

Hall hire, purchase of DVDs and screening rights, General and Public Liability Insurance, Membership of the Federation of Victorian Film Societies, Photocopying and other housekeeping expenses and provision of supper.

• All films are chosen with a broad interest in mind, ensuring that a wide selection of genres is shown and considers any films suggested by members.

• A list of films is distributed at the beginning of the year (see latest program).

• Informative film notes are provided on every film night.

• A typical film length is 90 - 120 minutes allowing a relatively early night for locals.

• Films are shown in a cinema-like setting using the latest 4k equipment for cinema-quality picture and sound.

• Supper is provided after the film, usually by members.

• MRFS has its own film library and members are welcome to borrow films for the duration of one month - not all films are available for loan.

• For $80 year you get to see 11 films, film notes, supper and convivial company. A sliding scale membership fee applies if you join at any stage during the current season. Minimum membership period is 3 moths.
