Film Club Ends '22–'23 Season with Moonstruck

Thanks to everyone who helped make this season’s Film Club happen—either as part of our always-ready-to-help team or as one of our many guests. We met a record 12 times, including seven in-person and five Zoom events.

Our season-ending, in-person Moonstruck event on May 18 drew over 50 people who enjoyed a pre-screening gathering on the Patio. In celebration of this classic movie about an unforgettable Italian family in Brooklyn, NYC, we enjoyed a selection of Italian cookies flown in from Ferrara’s Bakery in Little Italy, NYC, and glasses of bubbly Pellegrino. Even though we didn’t have a supermoon hanging over Santa Monica that night, you’d never have known it was missing.

Planning for next season’s Film Club is beginning. Please take the survey to give us your input. Thank you again for supporting the St. Monica Film Club.

1. We held both in-person and Zoom events during the 2022-2023 season. Attendance was generally more consistent at the five Zoom events vs the seven in-person events. Do you have any opinion as to why this was the case? (Choose as many as you wish.)

It’s more convenient to attend a Zoom.

There’s still a reluctance to go to indoor events.

It’s hard to get to campus on a week-day night.

It’s hard to register online for the in-person events.

I don’t know the reason.

About Film Club

What is Film Club?

Screenings with Meanings

The Film Club brings together movie lovers for a monthly discussion on a selected film. The 2019-2020 theme is Art of Cinema, and each film is chosen for its meaning and in the context of a specific aspect of filmmaking (e.g., screenwriting, set decoration). It’s incredible how much more you can see once you appreciate the techniques that make one film stand out.

 

The Film Club also hosts two seasonal events: A Holiday Party, featuring a classic Christmas movie, and Oscar Night, where we review the nominated films and vote for our “best picture of the year.” (Our track record for predicting the Oscar has been uncanny.)

 

The Film Club meets in the Grand Pavilion on the second Thursday of the month from September through May. Our discussions are led by Father David Guffey, CSC, Director, Family Theater Productions.
