Introducing Fedi Film Club (lemmy.ml)

The Idea

  • Watch and discuss movies together (kinda like a book club)
  • "Crowd source" recommendations for not-entirely-new films (IE, older than a year or so, let's say)
  • Aim for generally bettering or curating our film "diet"

How it will work (at least at first)

  • 1 film a month
  • First, a post to take nominations/suggestions
    • Post any film you want to watch, or have heard good things about, or recommend to everyone else
  • Second, a post to take votes on the nominations
  • And then we watch and discuss the winner

First round will start next month (July)

Please share any thoughts/feedback, though we'll likely run this at least once first before making any changes, just to feel it out

Further Notes ...

  • This isn't a live watch thing
    • Watch the films in your own time and how you want, including a live watch thing of your own if you like of course
  • This will be flexible
    • There's plenty of scope to adjust how this works along the way
    • Happy to take suggestions here, as I said, but I think running it at least once before getting too much into the weeds is a good idea
    • One of the biggest ways in which this could adapt, IMO, is being specific with the genre and/or era for any given month, and/or maybe even expanding it out to multiple movie clubs for different interests
  • The first two aims listed above are the main thing IMO
    • Which means the voting is just to lead to a suggestion for us to gather around one film at a time
    • You can watch and post about any of the suggestions if you like (obviously, really) and that'd absolutely be a good thing ... watching cool/good/interesting films is the whole point IMO
