Stay and Chat
After the screening, we invite you to join a relaxed post-film discussion at local craft beer pub Wolfe & Castle. Share your thoughts on the story, performances, cinematography or whatever aspect of the film resonated with you. It's a casual opportunity to connect with fellow film enthusiasts and exchange perspectives. No film analysis expertise required – just bring your impressions and experiences!
About Cinema Club
Founded in Spring 2025, bringing the best of indie cinema and more to Medway, Electric Medway Cinema Club is chance to catch the movies that may have passed you by, or you would never have considered seeing!
Cinema Club events may start with an XR short - such as a film, virtual reality or augmented reality experience - all commissioned by Electric Medway and from local creators.
