More than 12 multi-session programs developed and facilitated.

Formats

One-session pilot

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.
