About us
A group primarily for watching non mainstream films. Anything that falls outside of the multiplex distribution network. Contemporary independent, classics, arthouse, cult, documentary, short films, avant-garde, world cinema. However you wish to define it! - Pick a film, watch it, discuss it over drinks. Manchester's got the excellent venue of Home and Cultplex, as well as lots of smaller film events that crop up over the year, so an ideal group to meet other cinema enthusiasts ...

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (10th Anniversary)
CultPlex, 50 Redbank, Cheetam Hill M4 4HF, Manchester, GBI've never seen this buddy comedy flick, but it has some good reviews (and a few not so good ones!). It's directed by Taika Waititi, so that's enough for me to give it a watch, on this 10th anniversary screening. It also stars Sam Neill, who we sadly recently lost.
"Raised on hip-hop and foster care, defiant city kid Ricky (Julian Dennison) gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside. He quickly finds himself at home with his new foster family: the loving Aunt Bella (Rima Te Wiata), the cantankerous Uncle Hec (Sam Neill), and dog Tupac. When a tragedy strikes that threatens to ship Ricky to another home, both he and Hec go on the run in the bush. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family."

Film starts 15.30. For anyone coming along, we can meet in the upstairs bar area of Cultplex shortly before the film, and I'll share my contact details beforehand with anyone attending.
