Film Club: When History Chooses (secret film)
St Hilda's East Community Centre, 18 Club Row, Shoreditch, E2 7EY, London, GBThis year’s films all revolve around the theme of “choice” – plenty of opportunity for philosophical exploration!
This month: How much freedom do we really have when history is making choices for us? Set against a period of political upheaval and civil war, this powerful drama follows a group of people whose ambitions, loyalties, relationships, and ideals are tested by events far beyond their control. As the world around them fractures, they must decide what to hold on to, what to sacrifice, and whether conviction can survive catastrophe. A moving exploration of choice under pressure: when every option carries a cost, what does it mean to choose well? Can you guess the film? Or come and find out on the day!
PFA Film Club hosts free screenings of thought-provoking films, followed by a discussion about the raised philosophical issues, for general public. In 2026 meetings are held every third WEDNESDAY of the month at the Cafe of St. Hilda's East Community Centre, 18 Club Row, London E2 7EY. The nearest station is Shoreditch High Street on the Overground. This screening will start at 6pm due to a longer film, and we need to vacate the building by 9:00pm. We offer complimentary light refreshments during the event.
