Magdalen Monday Movies is a film club that runs every Monday (and some Sundays) during term time. We have a different theme each term.
Our curator, Peter Kessler, introduces each film. Sometimes we have guest speakers, and occasionally we follow screenings with interviews with the director. All our films start at 7pm.
Everyone is welcome to come along – but booking via our Eventbrite page is a good idea.
You don’t need to be a member of Magdalen College. Magdalen Monday Movies is open to everyone over the age of 18: students, academics, members of the public. So please feel free to bring your friends and family.
We also offer everyone free popcorn, because that’s (partly) what going to the movies is all about. And we even provide a full Contents Warning page.
