Katharine C: Montpellier Film Buffs

Mediathèque Federico Fellini

We are interested in getting expressions of interest (re participation) in Montpellier Film Buffs now that it’s been given the “green light” by the Mediathèque. It’s a new association that Edwin Hill and Philippe Marchand recently set up. What’s proposed is a Ciné-club that will start out with FOAL Bookchat members as its core and grow to include other interested fluent-in-English film buffs within FOAL- and beyond. We’ll have a first General meeting in early September 2013.  We hope to start screenings in early October.

Ideally, interested members from Bookchat will pick 2-5 films from the Mediathèque Library list (see below). While we’re aiming for much-loved gems, there’s no reason why some people can’t structure their list around films they’ve missed or have always wanted to see.

After we’ve organized an agreed-upon schedule, these films will then be intro and screened on a monthly basis at a set time in a Federico Fellini Mediathèque screening room.

 There is no paper printout of the Mediathèque’s exhaustive list of films so the 2-5 films chosen will have to come from the Mediathèque’s web-list. To get there go to:

NB- Option- email edwinhill@hotmail.com so he can send you this link.

Once there, tick "Films Adultes en consultation sur place" in the large box (10,000 choices). For films in English go to  “Anglais” in the “Langues” scroll bar (1800 choices).

Expressions of interest (ideally with film-suggestions lifted off their list) should be sent to: awg.scriveners@gmail.com (who will transfer the interest to Ed).
 
I’ll be meeting with the Mediathèque people in late June to explore an ideal monthly viewing time.
More soon. EH & PM.
