About Cine-Social
Cine-Social is a once-a-month evening for film lovers to get together and watch films from across the world. Each month, three films are chosen under a theme, then voted on by the participants. We watch the chosen film (chosen the month prior), then head to the bar for a drink and to chat. Finish times may change according to the length of the films, and genre, language and era will vary!
Each class opens with a group decision on the film for the following month’s cine-social session. You’ll have three options, often curated from international cinema or arthouse selections, and the group votes for its top choice. After the vote, we dive straight into the day’s activities. We begin with a brief introduction; this might focus on the film, its director, or the historical context in which it was made. After the screening, we go to the bar for an informal discussion where all viewpoints are encouraged and welcomed.
Who is it suitable for?
Anyone who wants to expand their understanding of what cinema can look like. The aim is that you leave the session having watched something that you may never have previously chosen to watch before. Perhaps you’ll even leave feeling a little challenged…
What do I need to bring with me?
Just yourself and an open mind.
Are there any additional costs?
No, unless you want to buy a drink from the bar during our post-screening discussions!
Important information
The sessions will take place in Screen 3. There are no sessions during half term 26-30 October & 16-20 November.
About the Tutor
Mel’s love of film began at an early age during her weekly trips to the cinema. Her passion for film curation began after graduating from Manchester School of Art, where she transitioned from filmmaking to programming. She started out by organising cult and genre film events in Manchester’s independent cinemas. Now living in the Lake District, Mel works as a Film Programme Assistant at Brewery Arts, channelling her enthusiasm for arthouse and world cinema (particularly East Asian Cinema). Though her favourite film is always changing, right now it’s August in the Water (1995) by Gakuryū Ishii.
