About us

We are a friendly local film society that welcomes anyone who enjoys going to the movies. In partnership with The Hunter Club in Bury St Edmunds, we screen12 films from September to May each year.

We enjoy first-class projection facilities including an extra large screen for that BIG MOVIE effect! We have exclusive use of a bar, which opens at 6.15pm, prior to film screenings which start at 7pm on Sundays

All films are introduced by a member, perhaps discussing the stars, the director or the theme of the movie. And there may be a brief discussion afterwards, since we aim to add to everyone's knowledge about each film and how and why it was made. But don't panic; these are not stuffy, academic introductions and talks, simply people that love movies sharing their views!

Films are selected by our members, who are welcome to send suggestions to our Secretary Vanessa at BuryStEdmundsFilmSociety@gmail.com at any time. Suggestions are discussed and titles chosen by members of the Film Selection Panel.

An email reminder is always sent to members a few days before the film date.
