The Bay Area Film Society was founded in the winter of 1997 by a small group of film lovers desperate for more films. We kicked off with The Full Monty at the local historical society on a snowy February night, not knowing if anyone would show. We sold out. We’ve been showing films ever since.

In celebration of Pride Month, the Bay Area Film Society in partnership with Chequamegon Pride will screen The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The 1994 Australian cult classic was written and directed by Stephan Elliott and follows two drag queens and a transgender woman as they journey across the Australian Outback in a tour bus that they have named “Priscilla”.
To our members, volunteers, sponsors, donors, community partners and general audience:
Thank you.
We could not have asked for a better way to have celebrated our 25th-anniversary season. We had: six months of great films; a major donation drive that gave us a nice, $1,200 bump; and finally caught up with the rest of the 21st century by now being able to accept Venmo at our shows, as well as e-commerce options through our website.
The Bay Area Film Society is happy to announce that we have earned $1,295.05 in donations through our time as the Round Up partner for Chequamegon Food Co-op in March of 2023.
BAFS is proud to work as a partner to screen the documentary “Polyfaces” on Thursday, April 20th at 7 pm with the Ashland/Bayfield Chapter of the Wisconsin Farmers Union.
The Bay Area Film Society is proud to announce that our next film, Butterfly in the Sky, will be screened in partnership with the Friends of the Vaughn Library in promotion of the newly formed Ashland Adult Literacy group.
We are honored to be @chequamegonfoodcoop Round For Partners March recipient. We have a lovely swag basket drawing on display, sign up and try to win a BAFS T-shirt, BAFS winter beanie, two BAFS stickers, two free tickets to a BAFS film, two @southshorebrewery pint glasses with the beer to fill them. The drawing will be on March 31st. We have membership forms available and your membership would last a year from the date purchased so it’s never too late in the season.
Bringing great and unique cinema to the Chequamegon Bay Area since 1997.
