he Groton Film Society, Inc. is a 501(C)(3) (tax-exempt)
not-for-profit, membership-supported corporation. Our aim is to
contribute an additional cultural offering to the growing vibrancy
of our town. The GFS strives to show high-quality independent
films that have compelling themes, and that are not typically
shown in area theaters. We mount one screening per month at
various venues in Groton, MA — most events in 2008 took
place at Lawrence Academy’s Performing Arts Center.
Screenings are followed, when possible, by guest speakers who may
be involved with the subject of the film or with the independent
film industry. On a typical evening we will hold a reception with
hors d’oevres, perhaps from a local caterer; dessert and
coffee are served following the film and discussion. We usually
organize a “Behind the Screen” circle discussion of
the film.
All of the above features are free to members of GFS. One-day memberships are available at the door for interested parties.
The core members of the group that has established the GFS and oversees its day-to-day operations are as follows. A number of others attended one or more meetings and offered us information and advice.
- (Clerk)
- (Co-President)
- (Treasurer)
