Jersey Film Society

Jersey Film Society The Jersey Film Society screens 17 films per season not commercially released locally - all on the large screen of the Jersey Arts Centre.

The first meeting of the Jersey Film Society took place on 11th December 1947 at the Café Bleu, West’s Cinema, St. Helier and it is still flourishing almost 80 years later. Since it began, the Film Society has been concerned with film as an art form, and it has shown literally hundreds of films that would not have been screened commercially, old classics on the big screen and modern masterpieces juxtaposed with thought provoking documentaries.

MONDAY 1st June 2026 - 7:30pm - SISTER MIDNIGHT

India 1hr 47m, Hindi / Eng / Swedish (15)
Director: Karan Kandhari

A rebellious arranged wedding newlywed in a Mumbai slum defies tradition in this bold, genre-bending Indian comedy horror. Blending dark humour, surreal visuals, and feminist fire, it follows her anarchic quest for freedom. With a fierce lead performance and vibrant energy, this film is a wild and quirky ride through societal norms and personal rebellion.
