Film Group - Programme
Welcome! The Film group meet the first Tuesday of each month, at St Philips Community Centre on Manor Road, Dorridge.B93 8DX. We are a small friendly group who would welcome new members. We watch films from a wide variety of genres, countries and cultures. After a cup of tea/coffee we discuss the film, looking at different aspects of the film and try to understand what the director was trying to achieve.
We meet at 6.40pm, ready to start watching the film at 6.50pm. Depending on the length of the film our meetings usually finish by 9.45pm. For 2023 we will be paying £17 in January to cover the hall rental until June, when we recalculate, depending on attendance, for the second half of the year. £4 a film will be charged for guests.
