Beer Film Society was founded in September 2006. With a great deal of help from the British Federation of Film Societies and donations from Beer Parish Council, Devon County Council, Mike Green and several others, the Society was able to obtain basic projection and audio equipment. Our aim is to bring a combination of popular as well as less-mainstream films to the village. Over the years the Society has used any surplus funds from the screening of films to improve the quality of its equipment.
Our screenings are held in Mariners' Hall in Beer, which has a high-definition video projection system as well as improved acoustics, and which together mean that our audiences get a first-class viewing experience. A licensed bar is provided.
A reminder that our final three movies of the year will be as follows:
Thursday 30 October 30: Heretic (1hr 51mins, 2024).
Psychological thriller to mark the eve of Halloween!
Two young religious women are drawn into a game of cat-and-mouse in the house of
the strange Mr Reed – Hugh Grant as you have never, ever seen him before.
Thursday 13 November: Ocean with David Attenborough
(1hr 35mins, 2025). Nature documentary.
Attenborough explores the planet's undersea habitats, revealing the greatest age
of ocean discovery and emphasizing the ocean's vital importance while exposing
its problems and highlighting opportunities for marine life recovery.
Thursday 4 December: Four Mothers (1hr
29mins, 2024). Comedy drama. Our Christmas film with treats – and FREE entry for
