My city has a typical modern cinema showing all the newest films I want to see. It’s near where I live, but a year ago, I realized something was missing the experience of discussing a film with a group of people after watching it with them. So, I decided to start a film club with my friends!
We choose a different location (地方) in the city each month to show films.
Last week, we chose an old factory to show a film about Antarctica. It was freezing cold in the factory, and this created the perfect environment for the film!
Each time we show a film, we manage to make things a bit easier for us, especially now we’ve got our own equipment. We also know the number of audience (观众) who will come because everything’s online—no more worries that the seats are not enough! There is always plenty to do, but when people of all ages come up at the end to say what a great experience they’ve had, we feel it’s worthwhile (值得的).
We’ve made a website to let people know about our club because we know that now most people go online for information rather than read local newspapers. We’ve also tried putting up a few posters in coffee shops.
Nothing’s as successful as word of mouth, though—people telling their friends about the club. And the audience loves the surprise activities we put on with each film—last month it was a small movie test, which everybody enjoyed.
