Film Club

Film Club returns to The Hub on Verulam on Wednesday 11 November, with the screening starting at 19:00 in The Box. It's a monthly fixture here, and the format is always the same: the club's curator, Finn Barrow, picks the film, and once the credits roll, he leads a discussion with the audience about its story, themes and standout moments. It's less about sitting in the dark and heading home the moment the lights come up, and more about staying for the chat afterwards.

If you're not familiar with the venue, The Hub on Verulam is an all-day dining spot in St Albans that brings a few different things under one roof: Vesper, the evening restaurant; a co-working space; and two boutique cinema rooms, The Terrace and The Box. The Film Club is just one part of what they do with the cinemas. There's also the Cinema Supper Club, which pairs a film with food, and themed nights like 'Chick Flicks & Cocktails'.

Finn Barrow runs the Film Club as the in-house curator, so he's the one choosing the title and leading the conversation. The discussion is the second half of the evening, where he opens things up to the room to talk through the film's story, the themes it touches on and the moments that stuck with you. It's a good way to get a bit more out of a movie than you would if you just watched it at home.

The screening is in The Box, one of the two cinema rooms on site, and tickets are £8. It starts at 19:00 on Wednesday 11 November.
