Profile

At Magdalen College Film Society, we show a wide range of films, from popular contemporary and classic movies to foreign and arthouse features. To see our listings for this term, please refer to our termcard, which can be found on our new website.

Primarily we are a film screening organization; however, this year we are planning to introduce a number of social events (more details to follow).

Non-members can come along to any screening (usually a double bill) for £3. Alternatively, we offer a year’s membership for £20 or a lifetime membership for £45, which includes entry to all our films. Our screenings are held at Magdalen Auditorium, which has a capacity of around 200. The entrance to the auditorium is on Longwall Street.

If you wish to be added to our mailing list, please send an email to magdcollfilmsoc-subscribe@maillist.ox.ac.uk.
