R16

In a world where male voiceover artists reign supreme, one woman must struggle against the odds to earn the respect of her famous father and make her voice heard...

"In some ways a late bloomer’s coming-of-age story, it is also, in no particular order, a show-business satire, a family drama, a feminist parable and a sweet romantic comedy. Not that any of these labels can do justice to the originality of Ms. Bell’s creative voice." - A.O. Scott, "NY Times"

"Engaging and eccentric." - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Winner Best Screenplay, Sundance 2013

“In a World” was directed by Lake Bell in 2013, is an American production with a running time of 93 minutes and screens in HD colour. The censorship rating is R16 (sexual references and offensive language).

Go to the CFS website to view film trailer, read reviews and for more information about the film.

The Canterbury Film Society offers weekly screenings of top-quality arthouse, international, local, rare and classic feature films, documentaries and more. Full membership provides access to all screenings during our February–November season in the Philip Carter Family Auditorium at the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, for under $4 per film!

We welcome new members of all ages and provide a friendly, inclusive atmosphere with drinks and snacks for purchase and opportunities to socialise each Monday night. We run a carefully curated programme over nine months, each film introduced by a guest presenter.

We run DVD swap nights, coffee and chat sessions after some films, and regular Open Nights (ie non-members welcome) so you can come along and sample our wares, or bring other people along. We work hard to captivate, inform and inspire film buffs as well as those on the hunt for alternatives to mainstream cinema. We’re quite literally the best-kept film screening secret in town!

The 2019 35-film season runs on Mondays, beginning at 7.30pm, from 18 February to 11 November (except public holidays and Mondays that coincide with the NZ International Film Festival). Three events are double features.

See our website or pick up a brochure from the Christchurch Art Gallery or a public library to read about the Society and the 2019 programme, including our Open Events at which non-members are welcome.
