- [About WAC](https://www.winonaarts.org/about/): The Winona Film Society brings foreign and independent films to the Winona Area. It had its beginnings in the early 80’s in a small 70-seat theater at the foot of Lafayette Street, called “The Screening Room,” which was established by Kevin Pomeroy and a number of friends. A small group of loyal fans gathered in the theater to talk about the future of the type of movies that were expected at the Screening Room. The idea of a film society came up and was immediately agreed upon. Since the early 90’s the WFS has its home at the Winona Arts Center and currently shows 8 to 12 films a season on Friday nights at 7pm.
