Join us for our monthly movie discussion on Zoom! First up will be our regular icebreaker round where we go “around the room” and invite everyone to talk about a movie you’ve watched recently. Give us a short summary, how you saw it and a recommendation or a warning.
In the second hour we'll talk about adaptations. Far from a recent phenomenon, adaptation fever dates back to the dawn of cinema. What are the artistic and commercial reasons for the perennial popularity of adaptations? Are some mediums (novels, plays, TV shows, comic books, etc.) better suited to being adapted to movies than others? What are some adaptations that improve on the originals, and what are some adaptations that should never have been attempted? Join us as we dive into these questions and more.
NOTE: Movie of the month "8 1/2" discussion has been pushed back to June for scheduling reasons.
Info for Zoom Meetups: Indy Film Buffs operates on Eastern time. The Zoom link will be added to the Meetup event shortly before start time. If you're on the "Going" list but can't see the Zoom link at 7, please message me (Helen) via direct Meetup message and I'll reply with the link. As a best practice to avoid Zoom bombing, attendees who JOIN the meeting with camera off will be removed from the Zoom meeting. I stop monitoring the waiting room about 7:15 (you can message me if you know you'll be running late).
Indy Film Buffs is a long-established movie club in Indianapolis. Movie lovers from anywhere in the country are welcome to join our Zoom discussions. If you live in Indy, we invite you to join us at some of our in-person events as well.
