Film Club.
Watching and discussing films we wouldn't usually see. “Good directors don’t answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.” - Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
How Film Club works.
Turn on.
Find out what film has been selected either by watching out for our social media posts, or waiting for our email if you have signed up for invites. We usually reveal the film over the weekend.
Tune in.
Watch the film in your own time. We generally select films that are free to watch online courtesy of the BBC or Channel 4.
Chat out.
Join the Zoom meeting to rate and discuss the film, as well as the many other topics of conversation that come out of it. The Zoom meetings are on Thursdays at 9:30am.
The films selected for film club range from thrillers from the 1940s, to indie documentaries, cult classics from the 1990s, to recent releases. The one thing they all have in common is that they have some sort of edge to them and themes that will divide opinion. Our programme to date has included:
