Weekly screenings with free Coca-Cola, and popcorn; cinema trips, chances to get involved on-set with productions; what's not to like?

Whether you're interested in making films or watching them, Filmsoc is the society for you! We watch films, we make films! Watching films:
As well as our two weekly screenings (with complementary coke and popcorn) each week on Tuesday and Thursday in the Student Centre Cinema, we also have Cineclub showing slightly-off-the-beaten-track (think closer to Tarkovsky than Tarantino) films on Mondays including lively discussion afterward, and After Dark, our fortnightly horror night for all your ghoulish needs. Making films:
We have plenty of people eager to help you to make any sort of filming ideas into a reality, with a wide range of equipment available for rental. You can email [email protected] with scripts for production or ask for information. Other film-related goodness:
If that doesn't give you enough of a FilmSoc fix for the week we also have weekly Second Breakfast on Thursday mornings as a chance to chat to members and enjoy a whole load of breakfasty goodness (we know you skipped it this morning so you could stay in bed an extra 10 minutes and we understand)

Throughout the year we also have auditions, workshops, social nights, quizzes, trips, a ball that's not to be missed, and our annual festival!

🌟A Humphreys Award Ceremony celebrating UCD Alumna and Irish No Wave Filmmaker Vivienne Dick🌟

It was an honor to present the first Humphreys Award of the 39th Session to Vivienne and hear about her experiences in UCD in the late 1960s and her career as a filmmaker.

Vivienne has shaped experimental cinema through her distinctive approach to filmmaking, from New York’s No Wave scene to Ireland’s independent film landscape.

The Humphreys Award honors her lasting contribution to cinema and celebrates a body of work that continues to challenge and expand the possibilities of film.

🎞️🎞️ Thank you to everyone who attended the event! 🎞️🎞️
