History Of The Club
.
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 twenty fourth season, and have shown over 240 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. We have a regular season of monthly films from September to June each year.
Club membership has grown steadily, particularly in recent years as a result of our choice of venue at Petroc combined with our broad range of critically successful international films.
We had to close down the Club's activities due to Covid regulations in the Spring of 2020. We restarted in the Autumn of 2021 with a full eleven film programme, albeit with restricted membership, social distancing and no Guests. Since then we have increased audiences and in the forthcoming season we are looking forward to further increases in membership and guests at our monthly meetings.
Club Committee

The club is run by a committee of local members who choose the films to be shown and deal with the film bookings and administration of the club’s affairs.
