You've been a lovely audience...

Now on the eve of our last screening before christmas and, more importantly, the exams. We'll post more information on the films later on but first we'd like to thank you for your attendance and response, but we'd like to hear more from you. It involves a fair amount of work to put our schedule together and we're not doing this just have a movie-and-a-beer night for you. The goal is to increase the understanding and availability of the medium. That doesn't change that we would like to hear more from you and what expectations or requests you make.

We've already put together the schedule for the new year and will post it soon. It can be altered if we get some good (serious) requests. We're also planning to have more guests introducing the films and discussing the weekly themes.

So it is officially put down in writing, here's what you could call our mission statement:

Kinofíll is a group of students in film studies, who have the goal of expanding access of films to entusiasts. To this end we have a weekly screening. In these we show (thematically), important or intersting films. We do not show the output of Hollywood, which is in no way judgment on Hollywood films, but we think access to Hollywood cinema is sufficiently good to distance ourselves from it. The quality and/or importance of a film outweighs it's entertainment value when we choose what films to screen, but we do try let that also play a role. It's important to us that our films provoke thought in the theme we tackle each time and therefore sometimes pick controversial films which force the viewer to take a stand. It is not done to expressly shock the viewer.

We wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year and hope for even more (and more active) guests in the coming year.

-Kinofíll.
