About Us

Waterford Film For All has been around for longer than you think. Under our
previous guise of Waterford Film Society we can trace our roots back to the late
1950’s.

The earliest screenings would have used a 16mm projector, we also had a brief
flirtation with video and our current screenings use the 35mm theatrical format
courtesy of Storm cinema in Polberry.

Film Societies from the 1950s to the 90s used portable 16mm projectors and
collapsable screens which meant you could set up a screening in any location
with sufficient headroom. Our venues have been many and varied: The Municipal
Theatre, Mount Sion G.A.A. Clubhouse, The Granville Hotel, The Large Room City
Hall, Waterford Bridge Centre, The Forum Theatre, Garter Lane Arts Centre, the
Auditorium, Waterford Institute of Technology and our new home at Storm.

Our aim is to screen a wide variety of films from around the world for local
audiences. We are affiliated to Access CINEMA who coordinate our bookings and
provide us with programming advice and marketing support. The workload is shared
by a voluntary committee, currently four strong. We also enjoy the support of
venue staff and a small group of friends and relations who help with
publicity.

If you would like to promote WFFA in your workplace we can supply posters and
flyers. All you have to do is distribute the pubicity material and we’ll reward
you with a double pass to a film of your choice.
