What we’re about
If you're a Filmaholic, have a generally positive vibe, and play well with others, this group is for you!
NOTE: MEMBERS MUST HAVE A CLEAR PROFILE PIC OF THEMSELVES - NOT A CELEBRITY, FLOWER OR AVATAR.
We'll check out a variety of film genres, and possibly some social & city event outings as well.
While I occasionally will do a mainstream flick or comedy, I prefer foreign, indie, art house, classic, cult and Criterion Collection films. My taste in cinema is all over the map. I mean I love Lars von Trier, but I also do horror and low-brow. Dumb and Dumber is one of my fav's, and I still maintain that There's Something About Mary is award-worthy and ingenious.
If there's interest, we'll do post-film food and drinks - usually at a bar/pub/restaurant close by - to discuss the film and get to know each other.
Most events will be in Toronto - think TIFF Bell Lightbox, Imagine Cinemas, Revue Cinemas, Cineplex, Film Festivals etc.
NOTE - MEMBER DUES MAY BE INTRODUCED IN THE FUTURE.
Cheers,
Mita
