The Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre is set to bring back a tradition that has been missed by film fans in the community for a number of years.
The Whitsunday Film Society originally began in 2018 however it was forced to close in 2023 after declining membership made it financially unsustainable.
Thankfully, this is all about to change - on October 14 at 1pm the Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre again will host a sign on, inviting everyone in the community over the age of 18 to join the society for 2026.
Membership for 2026 has been set at $55, which includes 11 films across the year. Screenings will be held monthly in the Endeavour Room at the Neighbourhood Centre, with a program featuring a mix of new releases and classic titles. The emphasis will be on creating an affordable, social experience for members of the community, with afternoon tea included.
The society previously attracted around 60 members and organisers are aiming for an initial base of at least 30 financial members to get started. Early meetings have already seen encouraging attendance, suggesting strong momentum for the relaunch.
Membership is open to all adults over the age of 18, with organisers keen to welcome both returning supporters and new faces. The goal is to build a sustainable committee and ensure the Film Society continues as a long-term cultural and social offering for the Whitsundays.
