What we’re about
Independent theatre a/perture cinema brings the most wonderful (and whimsical/weird/wild) films to downtown Winston-Salem, including lots of gems that you might otherwise never see. Let this club give you an excuse to come out once a month and explore what the silver screen has to offer.
We'll see one of the movies that's playing on the second Thursday of every month and—if you have the time and interest!—head to the coffee shop next door to discuss (to be honest, this part is the most fun!). To allow everyone to attend (and responsibly go to work on Friday) we'll always pick something that screens around 6pm.
Event dates will be shared well in advance,* while final film selection and showtimes will be posted about one week prior to the event—we can't choose a film until after a/perture posts what's screening, after all!
*Dates are sometimes shifted in the summer when travel and vacation is more common.

## Details
The movie and start time will be announced about a week out from the showing; we always aim for about a 6pm start and head to the next-door coffee shop to talk after. Will add more details here about the film once it's selected.
Some notes about this meetup:- Meeting Up & Talking After: Once you have your ticket, take the hallway to the right off the main entrance (past the men's restrooms/on the way to the lower-level theaters) to the members "ta/ke out" section—there are some chairs and a small area where we usually say hello to one another before heading into the movie (especially if it's your first time!). Someone will be there from 15 minutes before the film until just before showtime. If you arrive late, just head into the film and you can join us after—we go next door to the Washington Perk coffee shop to discuss.
- Please update your RSVP if you can't make it—this helps with a few things, including how many people we're keeping an eye out for.
- Recommended: purchasing your ticket online ahead of time; this lets a/perture if more people than expected are coming, AND keeps you from waiting in line if you don't want concessions.
- And remember: You do NOT need to be a serious cinephile to join our group—but we hope you're open to talking about your ideas anyway, and learning from the insights of others!
