Melbourne Film Club

As some of you know, I started the Melbourne Film Club way back in September of last year (time flies as always). For those of you who don't know, MFC is a social club where we go and see a couple films a month, usually followed by dinner and drinks where we get to chat about the film.

As part of our plan for conquering the galaxy, I've opened a blog for the club with a monthly newsletter, film reviews and related articles:

There's several things I want to achieve from the MFC blog. Firstly, I want to be able to provide the membership (just shy of 200) with a monthly newsletter, but without email spamming (and without getting lost in some unread inbox). A blog works on an opt-in basis, so it adds value to those that want it, without spamming those that won't.

I've also had a couple members ask if there was a good place to post some film reviews. Since I also intend to write a few here and there, this seems like the ideal place. This is especially true since Meetup's own forums are barren wastelands, buried and neglected since the "newmeetup" revolution of earlier this year.

So if you're a member, or you live in Melbourne and like films, then please check it out. We've got a very busy month ahead thanks to the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) screening many excellent films, the Russian "Resurrection" Festival hosted by Palace Cinemas as well as some regular films and the Can't Stop the Serenity charity screening later in the month.
