This is a group that loves the genre of film and all it has to offer. We watch ten films a year at Irene‘s house and discuss the film afterward. We focus on films written, directed and produced by women, but we are open to all films worthy of viewing and discussion.  Popcorn is served, anything else you are welcome to bring along to share it with the rest.
