The Wellington Film Society is proud to present this fourth annual premiere showing of new films chosen from the best of the world's leading film festivals. Many have won prizes. All are films of distinction which are compelling examples of the film-maker's art from more than a dozen countries—including this year from New Zealand, in the form of a world premiere. Films such as these are too often denied local distribution because of their very originality. In most cases this Film Festival will be your only chance to see these productions—all have been brought here only for this event, and most leave the country immediately after the screening. To summarise the Film Festival: it is a non-competitive celebration of the motion picture as a dynamic art form.

The Film Festival is open to the public.

Public Bookings for individual seats open on Friday, June 20. Bookings (no extra charge) available only for 5.15 and 8.15 sessions. Book at the Paramount between 10.30 and 5.30. Monday to Friday. Or book by mail from June 20 onwards—send a stamped, self-addressed envelope, with your cheque, and specify dates, times, and number of seats required. Post to Public Bookings, Film Festival, Box 9350, Wellington.
