About us
Welcome to Cambridge Movie Meetup. We're a friendly, relaxed group for anyone who enjoys going to the cinema and having a chat about what they've watched afterwards.
The idea is simple. We’ll organise a few cinema trips each month, with all our screenings taking place at The Light Cinema in Cambridge Leisure Park.
We'll watch a mixture of films, from the latest blockbusters and independent releases to thrillers, comedies, horror, classics and anything else that catches our eye!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
For each Meetup, we’ll choose a film and screening time, then post the details along with a link to book tickets.
Everyone books their own ticket, and we’ll share the row and seat number we've booked so you can book somewhere nearby if you'd like to sit together.
After the film, we'll head somewhere nearby, such as Creams, for a drink, coffee or dessert and a relaxed chat about what we've just watched.
Nothing formal or overly serious. You don't need to be a film expert, and there's no pressure to contribute to the conversation. It's simply an opportunity to enjoy a good film and meet some new people.
Coming along on your own? Absolutely fine! That's what Meetup is all about, and newcomers are always welcome.
KEEPING CINEMA COSTS DOWN
All our screenings take place at The Light Cambridge.
If you enjoy going to the cinema regularly, We’d recommend checking out their myLight Premiere membership, which currently costs £16.99 a month and includes unlimited standard film screenings. There's a minimum six-month commitment, and some premium screenings cost extra.
Membership is completely optional, and you're welcome to buy individual tickets instead.

La Bola Negra + Film Chat
The Light Cambridge, 1a Clifton Way, Cambridge CB1 7GX, UK, Cambridge, GBSome stories refuse to stay buried
Join us at The Light for La Bola Negra (The Black Ball), an intriguing Spanish drama from directors Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, the creative duo known as Los Javis.
Inspired by an unfinished play by Federico García Lorca, the film weaves together stories of love, identity and desire across different generations, exploring how the past continues to shape our lives.
With its striking visuals, ambitious storytelling and themes of repression and self-discovery, this looks like a fascinating film to experience together, with plenty to discuss afterwards.

You Can See Everything - Arts Picturehouse
Arts Picturehouse, 38-39 St Andrew's St, Cambridge CB2 3AR, UK, Cambridge, GBWhy would I deceive you?
Join us for You Can See Everything, a new A24 documentary from directors Nathan Fielder (The Rehearsal) and Lance Oppenheim, who also directed Primetime.
The film follows disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes during her final 34 days before entering prison. What begins as an intimate portrait of one of Silicon Valley's most notorious figures turns into a bizarre, three-year exploration of truth, deception and just how much we can really believe.
A change of venue for this one! We're heading to the Arts Picturehouse in Cambridge city centre, rather than our usual cinema, The Light.

Set 24 years before Katniss Everdeen's story, the film follows a young Haymitch Abernathy as he's selected for the 50th Hunger Games. With twice as many tributes forced into the arena, this special edition of the Games promises to be particularly brutal.
