Cinema Society
Society
Welcome to the Cinema Society! We aim on creating an environment that is both friendly and relaxed, for lovers of all types of films.
Societies are a great way to meet people, but some people may feel under pressure to be good at a certain hobby or have a lot of knowledge on a subject to join them; The Cinema Society is a place for people to gather and watch films together, whilst also getting the opportunity to gain new friends and a community. We have many fun events and activities planned for members, including but not limited to:
- Screenings every week (day TBC)
- Trips to Vue and the independent No.6 Cinema
- Varsity Wednesday (Portsmouth's student night)
- Joint viewing with other societies, with films that relate to their group
- Pub trips after screenings
- Events like karaoke, quizzes, paintball, anything that interests you!
- Holiday events: Christmas meals, Halloween gatherings and more
- Harry Potter Studios trip
If you're interested in going out, or just watching a film with us every week, this is the place for you. We offer a variety of events and meetups for all kinds of people! We really look forward to meeting you at the Freshers Fayre, and hope to see you in our future screenings!
