Introducing a new monthly event! Slated for the last Monday of each month, we'd like to invite you, YES YOU, to come out, re-connect and socialise with your film community.

This month will be an opportunity to meet our new staff members, check out a demo on our somewhat recently acquired 35mm camera, as well as check out our other equipment as we get shuffled and organised.
