Film Forum

The Friday Film Forum is a welcoming, relaxed gathering of film lovers who come together on the third Friday of each month at 6 PM in the sanctuary. Following the movie, the group circles up and an engaging and respectful discussion ensues where everyone’s insights and perspectives are valued.

Participants bring a brown bag dinner and often share a small treat or tidbit. The monthly films are chosen by group census and vary in topic.   Discussion time is facilitated by different people each month.

More than just a movie night, the forum is a space for connection, curiosity, fellowship, and the simple joy of experiencing stories together.

June 19th, 6pm:   "The Birth of the Movies" a presentation led by our very own, Barney Lane

Barney has been interested in silent films since he took an elective class in 1972 while getting his graduate degree in Radio and Television. In the 2000s, he developed classes for a continuing education program for seniors on early movie development. This presentation is drawn from that class. It shows how various technologies and art forms came together to make motion pictures possible and will show films from the very beginning through the emergence of D.W. Griffith.
