Film Clubs

We host private film clubs at your organization, and we recommend wine and food pairings for each discussion.

Talks are co-hosted by award-winning college professors and noted film critics who have interviewed Academy Award winners like Sophia Loren and Meryl Streep.

“A stimulating series of talks, thought-provoking and interactive.” -2023 participant

We are inspired by the masterpieces of world cinema and the conversations that arise from analyzing them with our participants. All talks are personalized to suit the interests of your members, we work with you to identify the right films and the right setting. Typically, a themed series of films will be presented, with discussions ranging from stylistic choices to the historical context in which the works emerged.

How the talks work

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.
