Hi! We're a group for cinema lovers: foreign, classics, indies and arthouse. Our mission: Watching good movies with good people.

  We have a spacious, cheerful home, with a theater room that can comfortably fit plenty (see photo in my profile). There's an 8'6" movie screen w/ projector, and surround sound, for a nice, cozy cinematic experience.

We meet every other Thursday for film, popcorn, drinks and discussion. Coming up in the next couple months we have plans for some German and Russian films, maybe revisiting a Hitchcock classic, and we're thinking a Shakespeare too. All are welcome.
