Harrogate Film Society

  • Description

    Having started in 1955, Harrogate Film Society is run by a group of film enthusiasts in an informal and welcoming atmosphere. Our core programme of 15 films starts in September each year running through to April. Our focus is on bringing you critically acclaimed and diverse films from all over the world. Entertaining, thoughtful, sometimes unusual and stimulating, many rarely screened in the UK.
    Screening the films at the Odeon allows us to offer members and guests the full cinematic experience, including surround sound and comfortable seating (though it costs slightly more than cheaper venues as we hire the screens on a private hire basis and source the licenses and films ourselves).

    As well as our core season, we put on themed events such as classic cinema, a music season, art films and ad hoc special events such as charity screenings.

    Capacity for each film varies as we sometimes hire the smaller screens for our special events though our core season films are always shown in one of the larger screens.

Riders of Justice | 2020 | Dir. Anders Thomas Jensen | Denmark | 15 | 116 mins | IMDb 7.5 | Subtitled Markus, a deployed military man, has to go home to his teenage daughter, Mathilde, when his wife dies in a tragic train accident. It seems to be plain bad luck - but it turns out that it might have been a carefully orchestrated assassination, which his wife ended up being a random casualty of. Riders Of Justice is salty, violent, transgressive, button-pushing, non-PC and laugh-out-loud funny at times – and when you’re not gasping or laughing, it’s only to wonder at the mind which pulled all of this together. This event is free for all Harrogate Film Society members. Guests are welcome and can buy tickets online or at the HFS desk in the Odeon lobby on the night. A small processing fee will be applied to all tickets. These can be purchased online here or will be available on the door - (contactless payments only please, we are not taking cash this season). Please note that doors open at 6.30pm but the film will start at 7pm. All seating is unreserved so grab a seat wherever you like. Parking is free after 6pm for all Odeon cinema-goers but you MUST display a voucher obtained from the Odeon lobby.
