What we’re about
We meet regularly to watch and discuss films.
We usually see a movie together at a cinema in the Nottingham area (usually the Broadway Cinema) and then discuss it over a drink and a meal (usually in the Broadway Cafe).
We enjoy a wide range of genres: great classics, international and art films, and the latest major releases.
CODE OF CONDUCT: When we discuss a film, it is important to show respect to other people's opinions. We go around expressing each member's impressions and comments on the movie: we must let every person speak without interrupting. Disagreements are welcome, but must always be polite.

Summary:
The light, the lives, and the textures of contemporary, working-class Mumbai are explored and celebrated by writer/director Payal Kapadia, who won the Grand Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival for her revelatory fiction feature debut. Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital--head nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) and recent hire Anu (Divya Prabha)--plus their coworker, cook Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam), Kapadia's film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment. Prabha, her husband from an arranged marriage living in faraway Germany, is courted by a doctor at her hospital; Anu carries on a romance with a Muslim man, which she must keep a secret from her strict Hindu family; Parvaty finds herself dealing with a sudden eviction from her apartment. Kapadia captures the bustle of the metropolis and the open-air tranquility of a seaside village with equal radiance, articulated by her superb actresses and by the camera with a lyrical naturalism that occasionally drifts into dreamlike incandescence. All We Imagine as Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness.
