The Noosa Film Society was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Centre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
Film Society screenings are scheduled on average twice a month on Wednesdays and are restricted to members only.
Membership renewals take place each year in August/September at which time existing members are invited to re-join. Vacancies are filled from a waiting list compiled from applications received throughout the year. Currently the waiting list is closed as the limit has been reached. It will be reviewed after the Annual General Meeting in 2013.

Membership to Noosa Film Society - Waiting List

Due to the number of people on the current waiting list, there is a delay of approximately two years before being invited to join the Noosa Film Society. Invitations to join are sent out by post, in August each year.
While waiting, we suggest you take advantage of some of the discounts offered by the Noosa Five Cinemas - such as Seniors Card or by joining the Directors Club. If you are keen to see any of our films, the Noosa Five Cinema usually screens our films for the general public for a week after one of our screenings.

A Separation

(Iran) 118 mins. Rated PG
Art House/ International drama
Winner Best Foreign Film Academy Awards 2012

Wednesday 16th May
10.00am, 2.30, 5.00 & 7.15pm

The utterly compelling and profound film A Separation focuses on a contemporary Iranian middle-class couple who separate, and the intrigues which follow.

Nadar and Simin have been married for fourteen years and live with their eleven year old daughter Termin in Tehran. Not exactly out of love, Nader and Simin are attempting to divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. When the judge refuses to formalise their separation, Simin departs the family home, leaving the obstinate Nader to hire a housekeeper to care for his elderly father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

Propelled by an acute attention to class, religious and gender differences, Farhadi's meticulous script questions the very basis of truth and ethics, and explores the cultural, social and judicial minefield that plagues contemporary Iran.
