Social Film Club – 31th Edition
Details
A Branch of the Social Book Club focusing on International Cinema. I find films based on the taste profile of the cinephiles that regularly attend.
A Reminder that the films for this week are a bit longer than usual so maybe bring some snacks and drinks.
We the Lovely Folks of the Social Film Club, are back for the 31th Edition this Saturday! 🎬🌿🕊️
☀️ We start at 19:00 hrs.
Films chosen for this week are:
🎥 Either one of these two humane, quietly powerful films — we'll decide together:
- Dodes'ka-den (1970)
Kurosawa's first color film, set in a Tokyo slum built on a garbage dump.
Poverty, dreams, madness, and dignity — a mosaic of lives on the margins.
Vivid, strange, and deeply compassionate.
IMDb: 7.4/10 – Runtime: 2h 20m.
OR
- Early Summer (1951)
Ozu's gentle portrait of a Tokyo family gathered around a daughter's marriage.
Tradition, independence, generations, and change — told through small gestures.
Warm, patient, and quietly profound.
IMDb: 8.1/10 – Runtime: 2h 5m.
🍽️ Post Meetup Food at China Zentrum Stiegengasse if it is still open by the time the film ends (or else we improvise) ! 😁😁
If you just joined, please fill up this survey so we can better tailor the films we show. https://forms.gle/juPwhehSV2NosLee9
PS - I can guarantee comfortable seating for 10 people. People in the waitlist can show up as well, because a lot of people sign up but don't show up.
The event takes place at the Social Welfare organization called MUT. It is an organisation that works on social issues such as Emergency & Homeless Assistance, Food Rescue and Environment Protection. MUT is a non profit organization that provides us with the space to host the event. A small donation towards their cause helps them a lot.
