What we’re about
A Pittsburgh movie club for fans of foreign, independent, classic, arthouse and offbeat cinema. Before each meeting, we will watch the same movie on our own time. Then, we'll meet over drinks and food to discuss it. No special expertise required! Just bring an open mind and a few thoughts to share.
Past movie selections here!
Selections are made by members who have attended at least 3 meetings. This Meetup will not focus on brand new/ currently-in-theaters releases -- there are other groups out there for that, and the hope here is to introduce participants to older or overlooked movies they might not otherwise see. Choices must be widely available online through streaming rental or multiple subscription services (no exclusives to a single subscription streaming service). Meetings take place every other Wednesday.
We also have a Discord! We use this to organize local hang outs and screenings outside regular group meetings. Discord is basically a chat forum where you join a specific server and can chat with people there. If you would like an invite to the Discord, please message an organizer.

Youtube (rental)Synopsis, from Criterion: "A rare film biography as boldly unconventional as its subject, writer-director François Girard’s visionary portrait of iconoclastic, world-renowned pianist Glenn Gould explodes the conventions of the form to illuminate the brilliant mind and innermost obsessions of a singular artist."
