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. Additionally, we program quarterly filmmaking competitions, have access to prescreenings for many of the biggest releases of the year, and provide an outlet for our UW film community. For the Winter 2020 Quarter, we meet at 7:30 PM Thursday nights in Physics-Astronomy Auditorium A114.
