Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome
Hello and welcome to South Philly Film Club. SPFC began as an excuse to watch and discuss movies with a small group of friends and fellow film geeks, and also as an excuse to buy a really big TV. Over the last 5 years, we've expanded from my couch to encompass most of my living room and dining room, the lectures have grown ever longer and more tedious, and I got an even bigger TV.
This site was created as a way to archive and organize my Film Club materials, and as a platform for future writing. Future plans include blog posts with movie reviews and streaming recommendations, intro lecture videos (not video essays so much as TCM-style intros), and expanding individual film pages to include links to relevant essays, interviews, videos, etc. Basically a kind of annotated bibliography for each film, curated by a professional (I'm a librarian during working hours). And hopefully, a few more varied and ambitious projects as I think of them.
Thanks for stopping by!
