Private film clubs at your location. Interactive and educational talks tailored to your interests, hosted by award-winning college professors and noted film critics.
If you are inspired by the masterpieces of world cinema and the conversations that arise from analyzing them, these programs are for you. We work with you to identify the right films and the right setting.
From our Rome series, this relatively unknown jewel is considered the masterpiece of the “commedia all’italiana” genre, loosely defined as satirical comedy. It’s a funny and touching story of two Roman men on a spontaneous road trip.
A centerpiece of our French New Wave series, this engaging story about a pop singer waiting for the results of a biopsy (told in real time, between 5:00 and 7:00) helped define what groundbreaking work was created by this movement.
Our films are usually offered as a series of four films but can be offered as a “Double Bill” or even for just one film.
We offer them in person at your location, or on Zoom. After we create the details of the experience with you, we often send you an article to read before our talk. They address the director, actors, setting, relevant history, etc. Participants are usually asked to watch the movies and read the articles before our talk, but we have organized viewing parties at some clubs.
On the night of the event, with a glass of vino or other film-linked beverage in hand if you wish, we all chat together for a few minutes before starting the presentation. We want to know your initial impressions and questions.
After sharing your thoughts with us, our formal presentation covers important points about the film, the director, the style, the historical background, etc.. We then watch a couple of short clips together and include open-ended conversation and discussion among all.
