Welcome to Melbourne Film Club's Blog

Hello and welcome to Melbourne Film Club's blog. We'll be using this blog to keep in touch with our members in between film events with a monthly newsletter. Rather than spamming everyone with an additional email, you're encouraged to visit this blog to keep up to date with upcoming films and reviews. 

Alternatively, you might like to subscribe to this blog with your favourite news reader. If you don't have a news reader, we strongly recommend Google Reader. Our Atom feed contains all our posts in full.

What is Melbourne Film Club? 

For newcomers, Melbourne Film Club  is a social club focused on enjoying independent and classic films, along with the occasional sci-fi, cult or anime (Japanese animation). We typically host one or two films a month, sometimes more if a festival is currently screening.

To see our current schedule please check out the Melbourne Film Club website. Membership is free and there is no minimum attendance required - just come to the films that interest you. As we do not collect any kind of fee, members are expected to purchase their own film tickets, meals and drinks.

What can you expect? 

The club members come from a variety of backgrounds and are typically amateur films buffs who enjoy seeing a variety of films with like-minded people.  We usually see a film, then head to a nearby cafe or restaurant for dinner and drinks, where you can discuss the film and get to know some new people.

Currently, we make regular use of the following venues: Palace Westgarth (Northcote), Palace Como (South Yarra), ACMI (city) and the Astor Theatre (St Kilda East). In summer, we also go to the Moonlight Cinema (Royal Botanic Gardens, South Yarra) and Rooftop Cinema (city, above Cookie).
