It’s back!
Our fortnightly film series is bringing more film, more themes and more mockery than before.
Social Cinema is a free, interactive series that pushes you to think about film (the classics, the cult and the damn right awful) in a new way. Each installment provides both a discussion, led by our academics, as well as a full screening of that week’s pick. It’s possibly the first cinema experience to ask you to get out your phones! We positively encourage you to tweet your love and / or disdain. So… a free cinema experience, where you can still be on your phone? When’s the next one!?
