About Film Club
The UW Film Club is the foremost organization for exploring film culture at the University of Washington. Each week we get together, watch a film, and discuss it and everything else going on in the entertainment world.

For the fall 2018 Quarter, we meet at 7:30 PM Thursday nights in Paccar 290.
