Film Society

Welcome to Film183

Film183 Harwich Film Society

Film183 is a Film Society established by enthusiasts of cinema to support the Electric Palace Harwich and foster appreciation of film throughout the community.

Film183 members will be able to enjoy free access to 12 films a year on the last Monday of each month for a one-off annual subscription fee of £96 payable in advance. This represents an admission fee of £8 for each film shown. All proceeds will go to supporting the Electric Palace Trust as part of its regular fund-raising initiatives.

As a Film183 member, your participation in the programming of Film Society movie presentations will be invited and you will be regularly able to put forward suggestions for upcoming film themes and titles. There will be three themes of four films each annual season.

The first four films selected by the Founding Committee will screen at 8:00pm and are as follows

Mon 29th Jan: Absolute Beginners (1986, Julien Temple)

Mon 19th Feb: Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (2004, Michael Gondry)

Mon 25th March: The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014, Wes Anderson)

Mon 29th April: The Big Lebowski (1998, Joel and Ethan Cohen)

Suggestions for films with a Latin American theme for the months of May to August 2024 will be invited following the showing of Absolute Beginners and at the same time members will be able to submit their ideas for subsequent film themes.

With Christmas coming up, this represents an ideal time for providing a film-loving family member or friend with the perfect gift for a whole of year of movie enjoyment.
