Hey! Welcome to the Boston Latin School Film Club blog, the place where we post information about club activities for the whole world to see.
Lemme start off by telling you a little bit about Film Club. Film Club is one of those tenacious little groups, that doesn't have too many members, but always has enough to survive to the next year - and the members often make good friends with one another, because they're all there for a common purpose: Watching films!
Or that was the common purpose. Don't get me wrong, we're still showing films every Friday in the Electronic Classroom, but due to the more enterprising spirit of the more recent additions to the club, chances are that over the year, we're going to get more involved in the production of films as well. It makes sense - there doesn't seem to be another club for that niche yet, and there's quite a bit that goes into the making of all sorts of films!
But that's a plan for later on in the year. Right now, we want to show films that are (1) fun to watch and (2) historically significant if possible. "Historically significant" here means that films which have had a gestation period with the critics are the ripest fruit on the tree for us -- at the time of writing, we're looking forward to watching Dr. Strangelove for an example. Moreover, we're receptive to suggestions as long as it doesn't devolve into the case where one guy who never shows up recommends a thousand and a half movies. (Except the "half" movie is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, which we'd love to show anyway.)
Anyway, we have this nifty new blog to help out with spreading the word. We'll be posting our weekly news here, and if you want to get in contact with us, send an email to bls.cinema.society@gmail.com. Or just leave a comment, those are cool too.
