Dare Arts is bringing the Outer Banks Film Society back this fall for its third season to screen independent films, movie classics, documentaries, shorts and world cinema.
Films will be screened on select Tuesdays at Dare Arts in Manteo, unless otherwise specified. Doors will open at 6:00pm and films will start at 6:15pm, which is a little bit earlier than last year.
The schedule below has been carefully curated for the Outer Banks Film Society's 25/26 season:
• Sept. 9: Dog Day Afternoon
• Sept. 23: Being There
• Sept. 30: MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival
• Oct. 14: The Seed of the Sacred Fig (Iran)
• Oct. 28: Triplets of Belleville (France)
• Nov. 4: Fanny – the Other Mendelssohn (UK)
• Nov. 18: I’m Still Here (Brazil)
• Jan 20: Lone Star
• Feb. 3: Nickel Boys
• Feb. 17: The Wedding Banquet (US/Korea)
• Mar. 3: Oscar Nominated Short Films (+2nd screening TBD)
• Mar. 17: Between the Temples
• Mar. 31: Member’s Selection
New for the 25/26 season, the film society has purchased padded folding chairs to make screenings more comfortable for members, and they are closing out the year with a new feature, the Member’s Selection, a film nominated and voted on by members.
Unlike purchasing a ticket to go see a movie at the local theater, you join the Outer Banks Film Society through an annual or seasonal membership. An annual membership is $140 and includes 14 films, plus member-only discounts for other local film related events, including the Surfalorus Film Festival in September and the Environmental Film Festival in November. Seasonal (fall or winter) memberships include seven films per season.
Film society memberships can be purchased online at DareArts.org/filmsociety, over the phone by calling Dare Arts, and in-person at the Dare Arts Gallery in Manteo.
The Outer Banks Film Society will also offer enriched film programming that includes film-related speakers, special events, and filmmaker discussions.
Businesses or individuals interested in sponsoring the Outer Banks Film Society should contact Dare Arts Executive Director Jessica Sands at [email protected].
The Outer Banks Film Society is sponsored by Jane Webster, TowneBank, Stack’em High Pancakes and So Forth (KDH), NouVines, and Island Bookstore.
This project is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
For more information about the Outer Banks Film Society, visit DareArts.org or call (252) 473 5558.
In 2025, Dare Arts is commemorating its 50th anniversary by celebrating its past, present, and future. Dare Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization dedicated to encouraging the arts in Dare County through advocacy, enrichment, and opportunity.
