| Film Study |
|
We meet on
the 1st Tuesday of each month at
2pm at The Friends Meeting House
(the Small Hall) in Bath Place,
Taunton.
We
watch a range of films chosen by
members of the group - including
films from the classic Hollywood
era and from World Cinema.
Short presentations are given to
help develop our understanding
of some technical aspects of
film-making and to enhance our
experience of viewing films.
Notes
are provided on each film to
enhance our appreciation and to
encourage and inform discussion.
Refreshments accompany the
lively discussion that follows
each viewing.
