About us
Welcome to our group! We welcome friends from all ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and age. We value diversity in all its forms and reject prejudice against immigrants and refugees. We watch and discuss valuable, meaningful movies. Please check out the many meetups already scheduled for the near future. We have a thing for edgy, boundary-pushing, and first of all foreign movies.
## No-Show Policy
- Definition: A no-show is counted when a member RSVPs "Yes" for an event but does not attend, nor changes their RSVP to "No" before the event begins.
- Warning: After your fourth no-show, a member will receive a personal warning message.
- Removal: After the fifth no-show, the member will be permanently removed from the group.

If your plans change, please just take a quick moment to change your RSVP to "No." Your simple action helps us all plan better and shows respect for the group!
Thanks so much for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to seeing you at the next movie! 🍿

Let’s watch “TEENAGE WASTELAND” (Nytimes Critic’s Pic) @ Facets!
Facets, 1517 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago, IL, USPlease read through! High school journalists who put their professional counterparts to shame; environmental advocates who push back on polluters; an oddball teacher who leaves an enduring mark on his pupils: TEENAGE WASTELAND has them all. This crowd-pleasing documentary, directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss caters to multiple niches of moviegoer who enjoy rooting for the underdog. Even archivally minded cinephiles — the kind who get nostalgia pangs from watching long-shelved VHS tapes played anew — will find an itch scratched.
Titled “Middletown” when it showed at festivals earlier this year, the movie memorializes the work done by a group of teenagers and their faculty adviser around Middletown, N.Y. In 1991, for a high school elective called Electronic English, they started a video project that ended up breaking real news and stretching throughout the decade, over multiple cohorts of students.
