TheMerode Cinema Club
Dive into the all-time classic West Side Story for the second edition of TheMerode Cinema Club
TheMerode Cinema Club is a moment for cinema enthusiasts and curious minds, to discover films in a unique way. For 2023, this new gathering will be articulated around a thematic movie program.
Initiated in collaboration with fellow member, Denis Pennel, our 2023 program will showcase three universal themes: Love, Family and Work. What better than to explore their significance through the art of cinema?
Diving into the facets of these subjects through different lenses, together we will experience their essence through a variety of characters and stories.
Kicking off our Cinema Club on Wednesday 25Th of January, we begin with none other than Love. Book your calendar to join our screenings every last Wednesday of the month. Each theme will be explored through three films: a classic, an alternative film and a mainstream film.
Stay tuned as the films for our second theme, Family, will be announced at the end of March.
