Film Society
A film society is a membership-based club where people can watch screenings of films which would otherwise not be shown in mainstream cinemas. In Spain, Ireland and Italy, they are known as "cineclubs", and in Germany they are known as "filmclubs". They usually have an educational aim, introducing new audiences to different audiovisual works through an organized and prepared program of screenings.

There are networks in many different countries, and these are organized into federations, councils, collect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
