Film Club

The English Department film club is run jointly by students and members of staff. Films are screened in the multimedia room of the Humanities library, and are preceded by a brief introductory talk (no spoilers). Not all films are adaptations of a literary classic, but some literary connection, or degree of literary interest is to be expected.

A partial list of previous screenings includes Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, John Huston's The Dead, Steve Jacobs's Disgrace, Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, the Coen Brothers' Blood Simple, Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, Steven Spielberg's Jaws, Roman Polanski's Chinatown, Peter Yates's The Dresser, Joseph Sargent’s Colossus: The Forbin Project, Chris Marker's La Jetée and Steve Box and Nick Park's Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Each year, the screening is themed. The 2017-2018 program was themed Blood and Water. 2018-2019 was  More Human than Human: Monsters, Misfits, and Simulacra. 2019-2020 was the Magical and the Mundane.
