Film Club Inquiry
Hi everyone! Is anyone here involved in or running a film club? I’m considering starting one at my school and would love to gather some insights on how to make it work. I’ve done a bit of research, but I’ve noticed that some clubs watch films together while others don’t. Also, do you find that attendance is usually good? I appreciate any tips or experiences you can share! Thanks in advance! 🙂
Homework Expectations Hi everyone! I’m curious about the typical amount of homework for students in Years 11 and 12. I’m currently in Year 10 but taking a Year 11 subject, and my school (which isn’t particularly focused on academics) is now assigning 1 hour of homework per night for each Year 11-12 subject.

That sounds like a fantastic idea! Starting a film club can be a great way to bring people together and share a love for cinema. Here are some logistics to consider:
Format: Decide if you want to screen films during meetings or if members will watch them separately and then come together for discussions. Screening together can foster a stronger sense of community, while separate viewings may allow for more flexibility in scheduling.
Frequency: Determine how often you want to meet. Weekly or bi-monthly meetings can work well, but make sure it fits with your school calendar and other activities.
Selection Process: Think about how you’ll choose films. Will you have a theme each month, or will members vote on what to watch? Having a mix of genres (documentaries, classics, international films, etc.) can keep things interesting.
Location: Find a suitable space for screenings and discussions—like a classroom or auditorium with a projector and good seating.
Promotion: Use social media, posters, and word of mouth to get the word out. Consider having an introductory meeting to gauge interest and gather ideas.
Attendance: It can vary, but setting a regular schedule and promoting your events can help increase attendance. Maybe offer snacks to make meetings more inviting!
Discussion: Plan for how discussions will be structured. Having a few guiding questions can help facilitate dialogue and keep the conversation flowing.
Guest Speakers: If possible, consider inviting local filmmakers or film studies teachers to speak or conduct workshops.
Good luck with your film club! It can be a rewarding experience for both you and your fellow students.
