Darwin Film Society | History

Darwin Film Society is the Northern Territory's leading screen culture organisation. The Society has addressed the dearth of arthouse cinema in the Top End by presenting a wide range of films not usually shown in Territory cinemas or on television. Programs include members’ screenings, festivals, and special events curated both locally and interstate.

Dry Season Screenings – Deckchair Cinema

Screenings of films – selected from among the best of Australian and international alternative cinema – take place in a relaxed open air cinema during the Top End's dry season (April to November). The Program includes nostalgia, cult classics, independent releases, Australian film, bollywood blockbusters, one-off screenings, special events and festivals.

Wet Season Screenings – Birch Carroll & Coyle Cinema, Mitchell St Darwin

From January to March, Darwin Film Society presents Sunday Sessions for matinee mutineers and lovers of fine film. Visit the What’s On page for for this year’s selections.
