An Overview
“Forest Row Community Cinema” (previously The Forest Row Film Society) boasts a rich history that dates back to 1978. Over the years, we have made it our mission to bring the magic of world cinema to our community, showcasing a blend of classic films, works from renowned directors, and even treasures from the silent era. Our commitment to showcasing diverse and culturally significant films has not only enriched our community but also earned us various accolades, including the prestigious “Film Society of the Year” in 2009.
Originally founded with a vision to showcase films “in the cultural field and of a classic nature by the world’s great directors,” we’ve also occasionally delved into more mainstream features. This balance ensures our audiences experience the best of both worlds: the gems of global cinema and the classics close to many hearts.
Held in the charming setting of the Forest Row Village Hall, our screenings provide an immersive experience for film enthusiasts. Each year, from October to May, we curate a season of incredible films, presenting one or two every month. Interested in attending? Do check out the events list or our website for all upcoming screenings.
For those eager to delve deeper into our story and the cinematic journey we’ve been on, a detailed history of our society can be found on our website: Forest Row Film Society History.
Join us and be part of a tradition that celebrates the art of film in all its glory.
