The aim of our group is to watch and discuss the sort of films that are unlikely to be shown in major cinemas.

Why ‘Arthouse’? Now we have a new cinema in Hertford it’s even easier to see blockbusters and new releases, so our aim is to find niche titles, older classics and ‘great films we may have missed’ for whatever reason. Over time we hope to develop opportunities to delve into the art of cinema and its many influences and movements.

So far, we have arranged monthly screenings of films chosen by members of the group at members' houses.  We follow this with a discussion.  The day and time vary each month and are decided by a Whatapp poll.  The number of members able to attend may be limited by space in the home of the person who is hosting. Because of this, we have had to stop taking full members who are invited to home screenings. 

However, we also arrange trips to BEAM, several members go regularly to the Lighthouse Screenings there and we and share information about films being streamed on TV, or anything we think the group may be interested in.

Although we cannot take any more members for our home screenings, we are building a waiting list and hope may start a 2^nd screening group in the future.

Waiting list members are included on the general Whatapp group and invited to join us for any cinema or social activities.

Please get in touch if you would like more information.
