City of God (2001) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) + Dinner | Screening and Discussion | Sep. 19 | North Stamford (Free!) | The Stamford Cinema Club

Come celebrate with us! Watch some movies, have some discussion (and some food). It's like a book club for movies. No film degree needed, just an interest in watching movies and having good conversation.

Saturday - September 19

3pm (ish) - Screening of The Royal Tenenbaums - The first film we screened and discussed a year ago, although we have shifted and changed so much since then.

5:30 (ish) - Pot luck meal and discussion on The Royal Tenenbaums - Bring some food to share or your own brown bag dinner and enjoy community, conversation, and dinner. We will also be voting on the October film.

7pm (ish) - Screening and discussion of City of God - the film voted at our August event.

Come for all of it or come for part of it, just be there.

Suggestions for Cinema Club Birthday

I posted here a while back for a related thing and got AMAZING responses (thanks MovieSuggestions!) so I'm back again!

I run a local Cinema Club (like abook club but for movies, screening + discussion). We turn 1 in September and I want to host a double feature with potluck or brownbag dinner in the middle.

Looking for movie pairs where:

- at least one of them has something to do with a birthday party

- the two are dynamically different (garnering a wider audience than a niche audience)

- not psychological thrillers/ horror (just not my preference)

We watched The Royal Tenenbaums for our very first event so there is always the option to make TRT one of the two.

Big Community Room Movie Audio Recs Please

I am hosting a regular movie screening in a large basement community room. I have access to a ~70" TV that has awful audio. I am looking for something that is:

- easy to transport and set up (the room is multi-use and I only have access to it one day a month)

- budget (ideally in the sub $100 range since it will only get used one day a month, if this doesn't exist $150 is okay

- loud enough for the folks in the back to hear the dialogue (30' away?)

This may be a fantasy, we are a no-budget group, so looking for something to match.

Sorry To Bother You (2018) at the Stamford Cinema Club. Like a book club but for movies. Aug 6 - North Stamford (FREE)

Join us for our TENTH (10th) screening and discussion, this month is the 2018 film Sorry to Bother You by musician, rapper, and multi-artist Boots Riley.

If you have seen the movie before- come get another watch, if you haven't (like me) come experience it for the first time. Then enjoy a round table discussion about the plot, characters, themes, symbolism, camera work, or whatever else you can think of.

You don't need to be a film buff to join, just a willingness to watch a movie and enjoy a discussion.

For the film nerds who have made it this far:

Boots Riley, as the frontman for The Coup wrote the screenplay for Sorry to Bother You in 2012. Without a way to produce the film, The Coup made an album of the same name inspired by the screenplay. What other movies have inspired great albums (or the other way around)?

Ideas for Cinema Club celebration?

I run a local cinema club (book club but with films) and we are coming up on our 1 year anniversary (big whoop?) - I want to do something fun to celebrate, I need ideas that would be fun for movie fans.

I thought about a day long marathon (wouldn't be able to do discussions for all of them), or something like hold multiple events in a single week (i.e.: 5 days of films and discussions). I'll be asking the group tomorrow for ideas, but figured there was someone here who had an idea to share.

(mods, this is for and about cinephiles - but not about movies specifically. If this post is breaking rules, please remove- or ask me to and I will. Thanks!)

In-person Community Building Groups for Stamford

There is something unique about regular occurring, in-person gatherings- they open unique opportunities for connections, community, and friendships. I am working on a project to help and support these kinds of groups.

If you run one of these or know one of the organizers, I'd love to chat with you, hear what you are doing and how it's going- my DMs are open here and in Discord. If you don't want to chat, I'll say a big "thank you" for the work, effort, and intention you put into creating community.

And not to forget all the work our mods here and other online communities put in to create space for online community as well!

No sales, no grift, just a desire to help and to grow these kinds of groups.
