Yarra Ranges Film SocietyThe Yarra Ranges Film Society was established in February 1999. Our objective is to provide quality films at a local venue for film lovers resident in the Upper yarra Valley. Our current membership is approximately 90, and we welcome all other film lovers to join. All screenings are held at the Mecca Cinema at the Upper Yarra Arts Centre in Warburton. The Mecca has recently been upgraded and fitted with a state-of-the-art digital projection system, which provides high visual quality and excellent sound.
Our screenings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, commencing at 7.30 pm. Prospective members and visitors are all welcome to attend these screenings. All our members are involved in the selection of films for the annual program by means of a nomination and voting process. After each monthly film we have a casual gathering which includes a light supper. For those wishing to take part in more serious discussion of the film, a discussion table is provided. A starbox system is used to enable members to express their opinions of the night’s film. We hold a Christmas Party for members prior to the December screening. In mid-June each year the Film Society holds the Warburton Film Festival. This is a three-day event which attracts local and visiting film lovers alike. We also organize a Short Film Competition for young filmmakers, prize winning entries are then screened at the Film Festival. Our society is a member of the Federation of Victorian Film Societies, which has over sixty member film societies.
Annual membership fees Full membership $60.00
Members of the Film Society are offered generous discounts by the Upper Yarra Arts Centre on tickets to movies provided directly by the Arts Centre.
