About HFS

The Hudson Film Society began in 2006 with a meeting of a founding committee, Inga and John Lawson, Elaine Steinberg, Helen Henshaw and Clint Ward. Later, Michael Poirier joined. Several meetings were held to discuss various programming ideas until the Committee was informed of the existence of The Film Circuit Group, an outreach division of the Toronto International Film Festival. An affiliation was begun with the Film Circuit Group providing leadership and advice concerning film rights, programming and guests. The initial season opened with Water followed by A Simple Curve, Joyeux Noel, C.R.A.Z.Y, Bonbom El Perro, Manufactured Landscapes, Tsotsi and closing with Volver.

Screenings were held at the Hudson Village Theatre on one Monday per month using a video projector and DVDs. The series was so popular that evening performances soon sold out and a matinee had to be added. It was an extremely successful beginning. The second season began on September 17, 2007 and ran to April 21, 2008. The 3rd season on September 15, 2008 closing on April 20, 2009. The 4th season on September 21, 2009 running to April 19, 2010. In May 2008 an annual 5 evening Festival was added. In March of 2010 a Documentary Festival – DocFest – was also added. The 5th season will open on September 20.

Committee members are looking forward to another sold out “Monday at the Movies”.
