About Desolation Movie Club

Welcome to the Desolation Movie Club! Join us for a thought-provoking experience through film screenings and discussion with a theme each time that is thoughtfully created. Here we only watch movies with meaning!

How it works:

Each time there will be a theme for the screening, with 3 movies as options that fit the theme.

In the event, we watch trailers of all 3 movies then vote which one to watch in full. 

After the movie, we will discuss the plot, characters, themes, context, and whatever brings depth to the movie and makes it meaningful.

Agenda:

• Watch trailers and vote for movie
• Watch the voted movie in full
• Discuss & Social (Feel free to bring snack to share, plus a mug for hot tea prepared by me :P )
