The Reel M^cCoy

is a not-for-profit community organisation
that since 1990 has been catering for people interested in movies,
particularly those who would like to see timeless classics and overlooked gems
at low cost.

Click the logo below for the current half-year programme.

When Reel McCoy started up in June 1990 (as the ACT Film Society), screenings were at the Center Cinema in Civic, inaugurated by the Marx Brothers' "Duck Soup".

Within months the venue was changed to the small theatrette in the NFSA/ScreenSound building on McCoy Cct in Acton (get the pun? McCoy - and film REELs ?).

RMcC resided in that theatrette until 2005 when, because renovations were being undertaken, the venue removed to the meeting/Board room at NFSA.

In February 2009, the venue was again removed, to the Theatre at the National Library of Australia, Parkes Pl, Parkes. How to get there? Click me.

Screenings are at 6:00pm every second Wednesday, except between mid-December and end January.

(If you arrive early, you might have time to visit the NLA's latest exhibition.)

Membership of Reel McCoy remains at: $45 pa, or $30 for 6 months, or $15 for 3 months. Membership runs from date of joining.

However, all financial members of the Friends of the National Library of Australia are

automatically associate members of Reel McCoy, and thereby entitled to attend all screenings of the Reel McCoy programme at no extra cost.

Membership of either organisation can be taken up at the door, before a screening.

Please feel welcome to circulate the programme among your friends, workmates and associates, or follow these links to view programmes from recent years...
