  7. Eco-Ciné Club
    Course start date:  Wed 11 Jun 2025

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  Katie Goss
    Come and join us at the Eco Ciné-Club, where you will have the opportunity to view and discuss the work of innovative filmmakers whose work uses visual culture as a means of re-framing our relationships with changing landscapes, climates and more-than-human beings. A development from our existing Cultureplex Ciné-Club courses and taking its cue from the famous Parisian Ciné-club set up by the celebrated critic and writer, André Bazin, this incarnation of the film club will allow for the viewing of a different film each week, followed by detailed discussion and debate. The film will be introduced, and placed in both its cinematic, cultural and historic context. In sharing our viewing in City Lit’s premier screening room, the Cultureplex, we will approximate the experience of watching film in the cinema, one that is intense and fully focussed in a way that other modes of viewing often are not. After the screening we will devote the rest of the class to a collective exploration of the film, led by the tutor, but involving everyone in a participatory discussion that will allow all to express their responses, their views, their thoughts on the film screened.







    Please note that the first class on Wednesday 11th June will be in Room 106 and will begin at the slightly earlier time of 14:45, finishing at 17:45. Subsequent weeks will take place in the Cultureplex at the normal time of 15:00 - 18:00.
