Cardiff Film and Theatre Group

What's the plan?

This week we've chosen a members suggestion for the group to watch and discuss.

The event will go as follows,

• Rent the film using one of the available streaming services and watch in your own time(This is not a watch party).
• At 8.30pm (GMT) the Zoom call will start so we can have a chat about the film (The password to the zoom is Filmgroup)

Members are welcome to suggest future films to watch.

As a new community starts to settle in, De Schinkel swears vengeance, leading to a violent and intense confrontation between the two men.

The plan is to meet up inside the Cinema, watch the film together and if there’s time go to a pub to chat about it afterwards.

N.B. This screening will probably sell out before the event so it may be advisable to book in advance.

Synopsis: Charlie Heller is a brilliant CIA decoder whose world comes crashing down when his wife dies in a London terrorist attack.

These Saturday meet-up events are held for those who cannot make it to Cardiff midweek. They follow the same format of a film and a visit to a pub/restaurant afterwards for food/drinks and to discuss the film.

We will start meeting up by the snack bar on the first floor half an hour before showtime.

A link to the Cineworld Cardiff showtimes will be posted in the comments after the weekend showtimes are published, with the film decided by a vote of interested attendees. Suggestions can still be provided before then.

I will try to hold these events on a monthly basis, but sometimes my personal life gets in the way; I'll let you know of any cancellations or other updates.
