This event will be for people to meet, go off and film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you! MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE. If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc. With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following: 1. We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank. 2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed) 3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film. BUT 4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc. Remember to bring: 1. You and your enthusiasm 2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever) 3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt! The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize! Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours. Look forward to seeing you there!

Jodie Foster speaks fluent French. In this film she speaks both French and English so it's great that this film at the Ciné Lumiere cinema at the Institut Français is shown in French with English subtitles. I am excited to see this! I studied French for a while so I hope I'll understand a little bit. Book your own ticket (standard £14, concs £12): https://www.institut-francais.org.uk/cinema/a-private-life-2/#/ "When sophisticated psychiatrist Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster) learns of the death of one of her patients, she is deeply troubled. Convinced it was murder, she sets out on an investigation that takes her across France. Rebecca Zlotowski’s latest film (*Grand Central*, *An Easy Girl*) combines the tension of a thriller with a sharp reflection on the place of psychoanalysis in today’s world. Jodie Foster brings depth and brilliance to Lilian in her first major French-language role in more than two decades." This was called a black comedy mystery thriller film ... with particular praise for Foster's performance, which earned her nominations for the César Award, and Lumière Award for Best Actress, becoming the first American to receive nominations in these categories in respective ceremonies. Screen Rant: "What begins as an off-kilter character portrait of a prickly intellectual comfortably slides into a murder mystery investigated by an amateur sleuth with a personal life more chaotic than the lives of the people she treats." Sony Pics Classics/YT: "A frisky, feminine, film noir about psychoanalysis and many other things…" Let's go for a drink afterwards to chat about the film.

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
