What we’re about
I decided to expand this Film and History group to also cover Art.
My previous blurb:
Cinema/Film Club on the one hand, and meetups relating to history, as well as historical research, etc, on the other. Some of the time these topics may even overlap!
If you are a member of the group as it was until Dec 2024, you may want to check out and join the London Craft & Chat group, we moved all the meetups across. I'd be delighted to have you if want to look at the new events!
The 'etc' in the group name is a bit of a placeholder: in case I decide to add other interests to this group. But right now it's all about my love of cinema, and feeling that history matters. Yep, I've gone for the pun...
Plus also now art too!
Welcome!
I added a blog to discuss the films we've seen: https://gisellefilmclub.blogspot.com/
I wanted a space to exchange views and ideas, post links to interesting reviews.
Let me know any questions.

Cinema: Psycho (1960)
Ritzy Picturehouse, Brixton Oval, Coldharbour Lane, London SW2 1JG, GBIt's Hitchcock's Psycho! The Ritzy are putting on a Hitchcock season which made me realise that I only ever saw Psycho on TV. I feel this film might be even better on the big screen. I love going to the cinema. Join me!
I'm amazed that the Ritzy only charges £9.35 (please note the attendance fee of £2 so I can keep running the group), I thought their prices were a lot higher so that's a nice surprise. Particularly as they are now part of the Picturehouse chain. It's likely their rate for these Rediscover films, new releases cost lots more.

I have not been to the Ritzy in years but I really like the place. I think it has great ambience, like a true independent movie theatre (it isn't, but that's the vibe).
Shall we meet a bit early to chat before the screening at 6pm? I would also love to have a drink afterwards, so we can compare notes about the film (does it stand up to how we remember it? Any parts we had forgotten, is the big screen experience different?), and also to chat and catch up. The "social bit" is almost the most important thing about a meetup!
Which is your favourite Hitchcock film? Let me know in the comments.
