iU3A Classic Film is a welcoming group of movie enthusiasts interested in quality cinema that meets to watch and discuss classic movies of a variety of genres, eras, directors and stars. Whilst we may feature such well known classics as Citizen Kane or The Third Man, we also endeavour to seek out lesser-known films from across the world that offer great opportunities for analysis and discussion. Please note that no expertise in film studies is required!

Any foreign films shown are obviously the original version with subtitles, but we also try to have HOH-subtitles for all English-language films.

We currently watch the film in our own time, then have a weekly Zoom meeting (around 10-20 participants) to discuss it. We take turns to introduce the film by way of launching the discussion. The discussions are much better now than they used to be when we met at the Old Fire Station, I think because after a 2 hour film people were less keen to stay on for much longer.

Our 21-22 film programme can be viewed here.
