In 2004 local film enthusiasts, with the generous support of Georges River Council and key sponsors, established a local, non-profit community cinema for the St. George region.
There was a great need for a film group to quench local film enthusiasts’ desire for a forum that allowed for the viewing and discussion of a variety of films.
The Film Seen promoted appreciation of a wide range of culturally diverse films, which were of particular interest to the locals residing in the St. George area. These included foreign films, independent films, arthouse films, classics and short/feature films by local film makers.
The Film Seen has shown movies from many countries including Argentina, Sweden, Israel, Japan, China, Russia, Iraq, India, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Korea, France, Holland, Germany, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Scotland, New Zealand, England, the USA and Australia and on a number of occasions the movies’ Directors have attended for Q & A sessions with our audience.
As an Incorporated Association, attendance at screenings was by membership of the Association. Screenings were usually held on the third Sunday each month at the Civic Theatre, MacMahon Street, Hurstville.
The Film Seen concluded its screenings at the Civic Theatre with the last screening on Sunday 16 June, 2024. We thank our audience members for their strong support over our twenty years operation.
