All the ones in competition could be candidates for a Monday night!

Names that stand out for me, ie directors I like or we have seen at film club before are

Quentin Dupieux (also known as Mr Oizo, the fantastic electronic artist)-really strange and challenging films which I like, don't think they have featured at film club.

Kelly Reichardt- an absolute favourite of mine. Last film was First Cow which was shown when we didn't have film club running. All of her films are superb imo.

Christian Mungiu- Romanian director I like, famous for 4 months 3 weeks 2 days , maybe a monday night film before my time.I must admit I am drawn to any film from East europe, an area of the world I find fascinating.

Kore-eda- film club favourite!

Dardenne bros- Seen a lot of their films, last one shown at film club was a little disappointing(The Unknown girl) but I always will watch their films always set in the same tiny part of Belgium. Rosetta one of their films was a big influence on Hive which everyone seemed to enjoy recently

David Cronenberg- always watch his films.

However the vast majority of the films I know nothing about and I am glad that film club is a place where discoveries can still be made so I look forward to new surprises.

Steve.

Agreed, especially looking forward to the Kore-eda film. And Cronenberg, Dardenne Brothers, and Kelly Reichardt!
