Each month, we will move through film history and watch a film from a different decade that we believe to be important to film history. Join us as we travel through time and continue to keep these films alive.
Challengers Rave
From the minds behind FILM SCHOOL — the film club that believes cinema should spill into real life — comes our first party: a Challengers-themed rave.
Pickpocket
We’re moving into the 1950s with Pickpocket — Robert Bresson’s minimalist masterpiece and one of the most quietly influential films of the 20th century. A major inspiration for Taxi Driver, Pickpocket follows a young man’s descent into crime with stark realism and spiritual intensity. With its focus on hands, isolation, and grace, Bresson strips cinema down to its barest elements — and somehow makes something transcendent. A beautiful, haunting portrait of alienation and the flicker of redemption.
The Philadelphia Story
Moving through film history, we now turn to one of the defining films of 1940s cinema — The Philadelphia Story. Discussion after the film!
City Lights Screening
To begin our journey through film history, we first turn to one of the most iconic faces of 1930s cinema — Charlie Chaplin.
