Ballarat Film Society 2023

The Ballarat Film Society screens an eclectic program of films on the big screen.

Screenings take place in the Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute (117-119 Sturt Street, Ballarat Central), on the second Thursday of every month (except for May, when it will be the third Thursday).

Doors open from 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start.

Membership Fees (remain unchanged in 2023)
12 months (Feb-December) $60
6 months (Feb-July), (July-Dec) $30

Because of the special conditions under which the Federation of Victorian Film Societies negotiates discounted distribution fees on the films we screen, we are unable to sell tickets for individual films. Entry is for members and guests only, with each member allowed to bring a guest free once a year.
