Tiverton Film Club

Nothing quite matches seeing a good film, in good company, on a big screen. But many exciting and original films never get to be shown in our part of the world by the major distributors. However that doesn’t mean you have to miss them all. We have a monthly screening of some of the best films, both British and International, right in the heart of Tiverton and you can also enjoy a chat before the film in relaxed and friendly company.

Tiverton Film Club was set up in 1999 by a small group of film enthusiasts who felt, at the time, that there was a lack of good quality films available in the Tiverton area.

We are now in our sixteenth season, and have shown over 150 films from the UK and around the world. Our aim is to show good contemporary films that would not have been available in the Tiverton area, and our choices include many films that have received high critical acclaim and awards at international and national film festivals. A large number of our films are sub-titled, and are selected from both mainstream and independent sources.

The Club has a regular season of monthly films from September to June each year. We originally started our Film Club meetings at the old East Devon College in Tiverton, and then moved to the New Hall in Tiverton for a few years. We are now back where we started and have returned to the excellent revamped venue at the renamed Petroc College in Tiverton, which has up-to-date sound and vision facilities plus raked seating.

Club membership has grown steadily, particularly in recent years as a result of our choice of venue combined with our broad range of critically successful international films.
