Ojai Film Society
Posted by Lelah under: Activities; Arts; Ojai .
The Ojai Film Society offers two ways to get exposure to independent and niche films. Every week they screen a film on Sunday at 4:30 at the newly renovated Ojai Playhouse, Ojai’s one screen movie theater. They also have a yearly film festival. This year’s festival is November 6 through 9.
Growing up in Ojai, it was always fun to see a film at the theater, but they usually just get the biggest blockbusters or successful independent films. The Film Society offers foreign and art house pictures, as you might expect, but also fairly widely released pictures that just don’t get screened in Ojai or even Ventura. If you are a movie lover who doesn’t want to drive to Los Angeles or wait for the DVD release on Netflix, then the Film Society films are a great choice. Even if you know nothing about a particular movie, it can be fun to go just to experience something new.

Sunday movies cost $9, but are free for members of the society. Membership costs $125/year.
