A film critique club is a group of people who meet to discuss a film or films that they have seen and express their opinions: likes, dislikes, etc. It is more often called simply a film club, a term that is also used to describe a distribution of films club, which can cause confusion. O ther frequently used terms to describe a film critique club include viewers club, critique club and film-discussion club. Critique group may meet in private homes, video libraries, online forums and in cafes or restaurants over meals or drinks. Such a club makes viewing a shared experience and frees the busy members from the ‘homework’ of having seen the film before coming to the club. It also creates a lively environment for commenting on the specifics of the film as it is viewed and can lead to very enriching exchanges. Film Critique Clubs are a great way to meet new friends or keep in touch with old ones, while keeping up on your viewing and participating in lively and intellectually stimulating discussions. If you’re interested in starting a Film Critique Club, you should consider the following options and recommendations. You may decide whether you want to call it a viewers club, film critique club or film discussion club. Now the first things you’ll need are members. Before recruiting, think carefully about how many people you want to participate and also what the film critique club’s focus will be. For example, some film critique club focus exclusively on biographies while other on social films. Some are even more specific, focusing only on a particular genre such as horror, mysteries, science fiction or romance. Others have a more flexible and open focus.

All of these possibilities can make for a great film critique club, but it is im portant to decide on a focus at the outset, so the guidelines will be clear to the club and prospective member. After setting the basic parameters, recruitm ent can begin. Notify friends and family, distribute flyers in the local newspaper, and hang flyers on bulletin boards in local stores, colleges, offices, video libraries and clubs. When enough people express interest, schedule a kick-off m eeting during which decisions will be made about specific guidelines that will ensure film critique club runs smoothly.

This meeting will need to establish, where the group will meet (rotating homes or a venue such as a video library or community clubs); how often the group will meet, and on what day of the week and at what time, how long the meetings will be, how films will be chosen and by whom, who will lead the group (if anyone), and whether refreshm ents will be served and if so, who will supply them. By the end of this meeting, those guidelines should be set and a film selection and date for the first official meeting should be finalised. Planning and running a film critique club is not without challenges, but when a film critique is run effectively, the experience can be extremely rewarding for everyone involved.
