film society
Cinema appreciation group
A film society is an organization dedicated to screening and discussing movies, typically focusing on classic, foreign, independent, or artistically significant works not shown in mainstream cinemas.
Members gather regularly to watch films together, often followed by discussion: The university film society is showing Kurosawa this month.
Film societies emerged in the early twentieth century to preserve cinema as an art form and introduce audiences to films outside commercial distribution.
