ORIGINS:
The Glencoe Film Club started
way back in July 1999. It was inspired, in part, by the fact that Imi
Weinstein had a large screen TV and that several people enjoyed films and
were interested in finding out more about them. The core group are all
ex-members of Betar and of the same vintage as those of this website, or
people closely associated such as a spouse or close friend.
The original presenters are
nearly all current and regular attendees.
Presenters take it in turns to
choose a film. The choice is introduced with an explanation of why it was
made and then a discussion may take place afterwards. Some films generate a
considerable amount of discussion and this is one of the great pleasures of
being in the club. Some old films stand the test of time very well but
others are quite dated. A few films have been followed by stony silence.
