Harlech Film Society
Since 1994 we have been selecting quality films from around the world to be shown at Theatr Harlech. The members submit their choices and the selection committee creates a varied programme of 9 films (usually every third Thursday) for the following season.
The film society has enriched the lives of many who appreciate the pleasures of seeing great films on the big screen with excellent technical facilities, including Dolby wrap around sound. The bar is open for drinks and coffee before and after the screening.
