About Us
Formed in 2006 with grants from the Diss Community Partnership, Awards for All and the Broads and Rivers Community Chest, Diss Film Society screens independent, foreign, low budget and art house films, as well as some box office hits. We use high specification digital equipment and show our films in a comfortable auditorium.
At the Film Society of the Year Awards, Diss Film Society received a commendation in the the best new society category.
We screen at the Park Hotel in Diss fortnightly, on Monday evenings. Doors open at 7pm and screenings start at 8pm. Admission is £3 for members (see below), £4 for non-members and £2 for students under 21. As our cinema seats only about 80 people, it has to be first come first served, for members and non-members alike.
But there is a bar and restaurant at the hotel, where you can get a drink or eat before the show. All in all, a proper cinema experience but in an intimate, convivial setting.
BECOME A MEMBER
You can become a member of Diss Film Society by paying £5, at any of our screenings’. This entitles you to 12 months’ membership. The advantages to membership are.
• you pay a reduced entrance fee of £3 (non-members £4)
• you have the right to vote at the society’s AGM and have a say on how the society is run
• you can have the forthcoming season’s programming delivered via email or post
• we will email you details on up and coming special events and news about the society.
LIKE TO HELP?
As with any society, there are things to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. We have a committee which has taken the society this far. However, there are always opportunities for film fans to help put the show on. You are always welcome to volunteer at a screening.
ACCESS/PARKING
The Park Hotel is fully accessible to wheelchair users. There is free parking in the Park Hotel grounds. If this is full, there is free parking at Fair Green and nearby on Victoria Road (next to the park; ask at the box office).
This project was supported by the Broads & Rivers LEADER+ programme and the
European Union.
