ZonaSur Cinema Club, an initiative dedicated to showcasing the rich diversity and complexity of Latin American cinema. We present films that reflect the cultural, social, and political realities of the region, aiming to foster dialogue, critical reflection, and empathy through film — connecting audiences to global stories that often go unheard. Organised by @curiobookshop and @ZonaSur_Cinema, and supported by the BFI Southeast Fund, our work extends beyond screenings: we curate programmes, invite guest speakers, coordinate outreach, and create spaces for meaningful engagement around urgent and underrepresented issues. We are delighted to invite you to our next event.

Oxford Indie & International Film Group

Tue
📅 Every tuesday
📍 OX1 3PJ

This group is for fellow film lovers who want to socialise, connect, and share their interest in independent and international cinema. Each month, we choose a theme, watch films (together or independently) that fit the theme, and meet to discuss. Join us to connect with fellow cinephiles, explore unique storytelling, and engage in meaningful discussions. Rules & Additional Information Space at the events is limited, so please RSVP only if you are planning to attend. If your plans change, kindly update your RSVP to allow someone else to take your spot. This is a safe and inclusive space where everyone is welcome. We encourage open, respectful conversations and celebrate diverse perspectives. We value genuine connections and a welcoming community, so we only accept legitimate profiles. Any accounts with anonymous or company names will be removed. Defining "Indie" - What films do we cover? According to The Film Encyclopedia, "independent" is defined as: 1. A filmmaker or film producer who operates outside the major studios, retaining a greater degree of artistic control. 2. A film distribution and/or production company that is not one of the major studios. * Beyond the technicalities of this definition, we discuss films that push boundaries, explore unique storytelling, and often fly under the radar of mainstream cinema. This includes small-budget productions, auteur-driven films, international gems that didn’t get wide releases, and thought-provoking works that challenge conventional filmmaking. In short, if you are looking for a community and like discussing less mainstream films that deserve a spotlight, this group is for you!
