Film clubs enable people to gather together and watch a wide range of films from mainstream classics to specific local-interest documentaries or films that celebrate the culture and heritage of a particular community. A film club is a fantastic social and educational resource, providing a central hub for your local community to meet, view films, discuss and exchange ideas. Film clubs offer a friendly atmosphere, in which every audience member can feel welcomed and secure.
