OFS Films Shown 1969 to Present
The Open Film Society was formed in 1969 – more than 50 years ago! Since then we have shown more than 2,000 films. You can download an Excel spreadsheet with an almost complete list of films here. If anyone has any information about the films shown in 1969 and the 1972-1973 seasons, we would be very interested to hear from you. There are also about a dozen films shown between 1970 – 1986 where we know the date of the screening, but not the name of the film shown. Again, any further information would be welcome.
