About us
Frame by Frame: Cinema & Culture is a space for thoughtful engagement with cinema as an art form, a cultural practice, and a way of thinking about the world. We approach film not only as entertainment, but as a medium that shapes — and is shaped by — history, politics, philosophy, and everyday life.
Through curated screenings, film festivals, talks, and cultural events, we explore world cinema, independent films, experimental works, and key moments in film history. Each event invites close attention to cinematic form: image, sound, rhythm, narrative, and symbolism — examining how meaning emerges frame by frame.
Our meetups encourage open, respectful discussion and critical reflection. We connect films to broader cultural contexts such as social change, identity, technology, memory, and power, while welcoming multiple perspectives and interpretations. No academic background is required, but curiosity, attentiveness, and a willingness to think deeply together are essential.
Frame by Frame is for those who enjoy slowing down, looking closely, and engaging in meaningful conversations about cinema and culture — where films become starting points for dialogue, insight, and shared understanding.

Together we will watch “The Exorcist”, one of the most iconic and chilling horror films ever made.
Directed by William Friedkin, this legendary 1973 classic follows a mother who becomes increasingly alarmed by the disturbing transformation of her 12-year-old daughter. As strange and terrifying events escalate, a troubled young priest—grappling with his own crisis of faith—is called upon to confront a force beyond comprehension. What unfolds is a deeply unsettling story about belief, fear, and the battle between good and evil.
