Films for 2027..

Is there a film, genre, or work by a particular Director or Cinematographer you’d like to suggest?

When choosing films to screen, the committee works from a list of films members have suggested, and, depending on availability of the film itself - and the availability of the screening rights - we deliberate about the merits of the film and do our best to put together a mix of films, that were suggested by members.

If you would like to suggest a film, genre, or work by a particular Director or Cinematographer (or actor, composer, subject), please either: write it down and put it in the ‘suggestions’ box on the desk at the next film; send us an email at reddirtfilmclub@gmail.com; fill in the ‘contact us’ form on this website; or post on the Facebook page / send a messenger msg. We’d love to hear from you!

Would you like to be part of the team that works through the list of suggested films? Join the Committee! You can join the committee at any time of the year as ‘an ordinary committee member’. If you would like to be part of the committee in a certain role (eg. Treasurer, Secretary, Membership Secretary), that role requires a nomination and will be voted on in the upcoming AGM, on Sunday 15 Nov., 2026.

Let us know if you’re interested, and/or have further questions.

New membership options

Due to the transient population of Broken Hill, we are introducing a new ‘seasonal’ membership for those who are only in the town for a short time (and for those who would like an alternative to the annual membership) For the low cost of $29 (which includes joining fee), you can attend films showing for the period of four months. This new membership will be available from 6 May 2026.

  • Season 1 - Jan to April

  • Season 2 - May to August

  • Season 3 - September to December

Visit our membership page for more information about seasonal and annual membership.

Not so new news…

Broken Hill City Council Grant

We are pleased to announce that Broken Hill City Council has awarded us a grant to purchase a large portable screen and a laptop. The purchase of this equipment will allow us to expand the number of venues that we are able to use for showing films. We are in discussions with The Broken Hill Repertory Society with the hope of creating special event screenings at Theatre 44.

Transgrid Grant

As part of Transgrid’s Community Partnership Program, we have been fortunate to receive a grant to upgrade the DVD/BluRay player and associated equipment for films showing outside the cinema, and also a portable PA system which will enable film discussions and announcements to be heard easily.
