Film Club: Choice, Chance, Repeat (Secret Film)

This month: A young woman has just minutes to solve a life-or-death problem, and what follows is a series of near-identical attempts, each unfolding differently with every tiny decision, delay, and encounter. As the same situation restarts and reshapes itself, we’re drawn into a vivid exploration of choice: how much control we really have, how chance intervenes, and whether changing a single moment can alter everything that follows. Is it better to choose faster, choose smarter, or are we always at the mercy of forces beyond us? Can you guess the film? Or come and find out on the night!

This year’s films all revolve around the theme of “choice” – plenty of opportunity for philosophical exploration!

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. The screening starts at 6:30 pm (or at 6pm for longer films) and we need to vacate the building by 9:00pm. We offer complimentary light refreshments during the event.
