A film club for people who love cinema and conversation.
A Cape Town-based film club exploring great films through themed monthly screenings and open discussion.
About the Club
We’re a small, community-focused film club based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, centered around thoughtfully chosen films and engaging conversation.
Each month, we explore a different theme through a selected film, followed by an open discussion in a relaxed and welcoming environment. The goal isn’t to be experts — just curious, thoughtful, and open to different perspectives.
From cult classics to popular faves to overlooked gems, we’re interested in films that are worth talking about.
