Cheltenham Film Society (CFS) was founded in 1945 and currently has 450 members. We show mostly subtitled and independent films between September and April at the Bacon Theatre in Dean Close School, Cheltenham. Admission is by annual membership subscription, but members may bring guests.

The object of the society is “to advance the education of the public in the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the arts, particularly the art of film and allied visual techniques”. To this end, the society has the power to “promote the study and appreciation of films by means of lectures, discussions and exhibitions”.
