Our weekly meetings feature a screening of an arthouse film, followed by a discussion. Led by one of our members or occasionally a guest speaker, the discussion encourages participants to share their thoughts and interpretations of the film.

Where Is the Friend's House? (1987)

A total and enthralling immersion into the world of a good-hearted 8-year-old boy in rural Iran. Nothing much happens. But the sudden hopes and sharp reversals of his dogged attempts to return a classmate's notebook will grip you utterly.
