On this page you’ll see the selection of films that have been planned for the 2011/12 season starting on Tuesday September 20th 2011, through to June 2012. Choosing films for a society is a nightmare process. It’s almost impossible to choose a season’s films knowing that everyone will like every film. However we believe that our choices for 2011/12 are good and thateveryone will like most of the films.
