Hi and welcome to the website of the first friday film club. The first friday film club is an independent film club that started as an initiative of Dublin City Council Arts Office in conjunction with local residents of the South East Area of DCC and it is supported by access>CINEMA. Our email address is fffcupdate@gmail.com The“first friday film club” currently runs on a voluntary co-operative basis and invites others to join in the organisational activities of the club. It is held on the first Friday of every month (or as near as possible) and screenings can be subject to change. Screenings are held upstairs in the Fletcher Room in Christchurch, Rathgar at 14.00 p.m. usually on the first Friday from Sept to June (no screenings on the first Friday in January or in July or August). This room is wheelchair accessible via the lift and has a seating capacity of 42 people. Seating is on a first come first served basis. The venue is serviced by the 14, 15, 15a, 15b, 83, 18, and the 65 and 65b bus routes and there is the possibility of parking your car on the grounds.
The club has been running since the summer of 2008 and we organised our first season of film screenings in September of that year.
This year will see a varied programme of International films and associated events and whenever possible we invite associated speakers to introduce the films. We also promote the literary connection between a film and the book it is based on where possible. Refreshments are served at each screening and this a chance to get to know other members, discuss the film at our post screening discussion and get involved in the organisational activities of the club. The club runs on a daily membership basis of €5 on the door per film for a minimum of 9 films over the year.
