Films for all in Highland Perthshire
​


Heartland Film Society presents a season of monthly films from September to June, at the Birks Cinema, Aberfeldy. Full details of dates and timings can be found on the Birks Cinema website and you can view the list of future films in the What's On page. 

You don't need to be a member to come to any of the HFS films - the films are open to everyone - but membership helps to support both the film society and the Birks Cinema, as well as giving you a reduction on the ticket price.
​
Films are screened at the Birks Cinema once a month, usually on a Sunday evening, when we present a film chosen from the best of world cinema. There is normally an additional full weekend of films and events at our annual
Aberfeldy Film Festival in November and occasional extra films added to the season programme. In past years we have also shown short films from the winners of the annual Palme-Dewar competition, and hosted question and answer sessions with film-makers.

We are grateful for the support of the Birks Cinema management and staff. The discount which they offer at the box office to members attending any HFS film is currently £0.50 off the ticket price. 

The
membership costs just £10.00 for 12 months from date of joining, so worth joining or re-joining, at any time through the season, to take advantage of discounts. Film screening reminders and programme updates are emailed to members. 

Without additional support and funding from outside sources, such as the Griffin Fund, Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery,
Regional Screen Scotland and Film Hub Scotland, we would be unable to present such a wide-ranging programme of films.  To obtain this funding we need a sound membership base. Please do join HFS and help bring outstanding international films to audiences coming from Aberfeldy and beyond.  


September 2023 - HFS Committee

Heartland Film Society relies on a small committee researching, selecting and promoting both monthly films and the annual film festival weekend. Several committee members have stepped down over the past few years and we are actively seeking new people and ideas. If you would like more information about joining the committee, or are interested in contributing to the programme or screenings in any way, please make contact by email 
to oscar@heartlandfilmsociety.org.uk or speak to a committee member at one of the monthly films. 
 
The adult membership fee remains at £10 for 12 months from date of joining. The cinema continues to support us by offering members reduced prices for HFS films, plus other occasional benefits. For the current season we intend to programme films six months at a time and will be running a November festival but not the associated short film competitions. 
The HFS DVD library of previously shown films is no longer available.

We have got some interesting films lined up for September 2023 to February 2024. The November weekend programme will be confirmed shortly, followed later in the year by films from March 2024 onwards, so keep an eye on the HFS and the Birks websites for updates.
