Who We Are

No matter which aspect of film interests you—whether it's watching, making, critiquing or discussing films—you'll have the opportunity to develop your skills and connect with like-minded individuals!

If any of that sounds interesting to you, read on to find out more about the club and also potential Main-Committee roles you can take up!
