Edinburgh Napier Film Society

Following our AGM we'll be doing our last screening of the year and it's a very exciting one that we definitely cannot tell you about but you should definitely come to this totally not spider and man related animated event...
H5 at 6pm for our AGM which we need you to come to to determine the future of this society (committee positions are still very much open to run for) and then we'll get into this, our final - totally not spiderman - screening at 6.30. Come join!

From visionary writer, director, producer, editor, production designer, set decorator, sound editor, caterer, makeuperer NEIL BREEN comes this semester's Film Society Best of the Worst special, it's Fateful Findings! Wait what do you mean you've never heard of Neil Breen...
A computer scientist/novelist/Breenist reunites with his childhood friend and hacks into government databases, while facing the dire and FATEFUL consequences of his mystical actions obtained as a child.
Yes we're back again with a terrible film pick where things are a little different to our usual screenings. Come along, drink to survive the film, jeer at the screen, chuck a few laptops about if you like - whatever you want. We'll be in H5 from 6pm as always and screening will begin at 6.30.

The Film Society AGM is going to be on the 4th of April at 18:00 just before our screening that week! Please do come along, especially if you have an interest in the future of the society and/or wish to run for a committee position for the next academic year! Please also have a read over our AGM information Slides! These can be found on our Facebook page!

It’s Paddington 2 in H5 at 6.30 tonight! Come along early and find out details about our upcoming AGM on April 4th as well!

Since watching the first Paddington earlier this year there's only been one thing we've wanted to do since falling in love with that delightful little bear...
SO here it is, we've got Paddington 2!
We return to the Brown family as Paddington has now settled into London life and is a popular icon in the local community. All this polite rain-coated wearing bear wants to do is get a gift for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, but somehow all goes awry and Paddington finds himself m...istakenly framed for theft.
We'll be in H5 from 6PM as always for tea/coffee and a chat. Screening begins at 6.30.

The final goodbye from the Mars Rover this past week captured everyone's heart, so we thought we might celebrate by following the story of another little delightful robot this week - it's WALL-E!

We'll be in H5 from 6pm as usual for tea/coffee and a chat of all things in recent film. Screening begins at 6.30.

Following our excellent social last week we're back now to the regular screenings for the end of January as we return with the multiple Academy Award's winning Birdman!
