What we’re about
Films are a marvellous way to gain insights into life in other times and places - as well as our own. At our film club, we show movies that give us opportunities to explore the worlds of cinema to and learn about what makes the humanity tick. And we have lots of fun doing so.
We meet almost every week at the Ellen Melville Centre, offering free screenings of diverse films from around the world. Occasionally, we also attend cinema screenings of the latest films, especially during international film festivals.
Our discussions after each film are lively and thought-provoking, ensuring everyone leaves with a deeper understanding and new perspectives. All our events are free.
See you at the movies!
