Welcome!
Welcome to the official site of the unofficial Athens Film Club. Here are the answers to some (anticipated) frequently asked questions:


"Film" club? Sounds fancy. Is this a club for snobs? Absolutely not. No movie or type of movie is off limits. However, while you might not be reading subtitles every week, what's important to the success of the club is the integrity of discussion. It's fine to argue whether Old School is good or bad, but going a little beyond that is what will make the club rewarding and, hopefully, more fun.

So how does it work? Every month there will be a theme (genre, director, actor, country, etc.) featured in the left hand sidebar of the site. Below that, there will be a movie selected for the week that in some way relates to that theme. All you have to do is watch the movie some time during the week and participate in the discussion. You can do this on your own or with friends. Our goal is to one day have a central screening space, but until then, it's up to you to do your homework.

So it's like a book club, but with movies? Yes. Yes it is.

Do I need a blogger account to join? Only if you want to be able to create your own posts. Otherwise, you will be limited to the comment section underneath. If you would like to be a publisher, send an email to athensfilmclub@gmail.com. Be sure to include your blogger ID.

What if I'm not an Athens resident? Come on in. And tell your friends.

How are the movies selected? As we're getting started, the club's founders will choose what we're watching and when. However, this is a club, not a class, and we encourage you to email us with your suggestions for future selections.

Does it cost anything to join? Since we're doing this online, there's no fee. If we can get a space for screenings, there might be a small rental charge for those who come out.

Can I nominate myself for Secretary? Sorry, there are no club officers at this time.

Do you honestly expect anyone to participate in this thing? No. No we don't.

Quote Of The Week
"If you're not going to be chained to a community, if you're not going to be tethered to a community, a place, a family, or perhaps even a church, then the best we can hope for is to be tethered and chained to each other.."

About Us
