Film Group London

The King's College London Film Society is dedicated to free film screenings for students and the general public. The society has operated for over 4 years. We show a diverse selection of films, new and old, experimental and unknown, and more importantly, all for free. Our screenings are held at the King's Strand campus, which is located in Central London, in a theatre that seats 250 people. We're located next to the BFI Southbank, with whom we've held a number of events with.

The weekly screenings are every Thursday and begin at 6.15pm. Feature films are preceded by 30mins of short films that begin at 6.15pm.

Guest do not need to pre-book tickets, but rather can turn up on the night. Directions are clearly posted around the reception area.

Released in the summer of this year, Moon is the directorial debut of David Bowie's son Duncan Jones. Following in the tradition of sci-fi classics 2001Space Odyssey, Alien and Silent Running, Jones shoots his story of isolation without the use of CGI. He employs the use of scaled miniatures to film his remote moon base which is home to maintenance man Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) whose only company is GERTY the bases' computer (voiced by Kevin Spacey). The lack of CGI, often overused in contemporary Hollywood filmmaking, adds to the functional aesthetic and a realistic environment for miner stranded there. The style of the film apart, the story intrigues and bemuses. Sam's mind is in a questionable state after his Rover crashes on a maintenance mission and the audience is constantly in kept in the dark as to the circumstances unfolding. Shot for less than 2 million, an original narrative, a stunning performance from Rockwell and a warm atmosphere created through Jones' direction allow us into the cold isolated life of our closest celestial neighbour.
