A single live discussion tied to an exhibition, theme, anniversary, or audience goal. Ideal as a low-friction way to test interest or add a special program.
Four-session signature series
A structured series that gives participants time to watch independently and return for deeper conversation over multiple sessions.
Seasonal partnership
Recurring programming planned around your calendar, audience, and institutional priorities.
What MovieClub handles
Curated film selection and program design
Thematic framing and per-session notes
Participant resource pages and viewing guidance
Discussion prompts, selected clips, and live facilitation
Zoom hosting, technical moderation, and audience logistics
Optional marketing copy and post-program notes
Why this format works
Participants watch films on their own time, then gather live for a discussion shaped by close viewing, context, and conversation. The result is rigorous without feeling academic, social without feeling casual, and repeatable without becoming formulaic.
