MODERATORS
Normies as in people with normal politics or as in people with a normal amount of interest in movies?
Hopefully you know at least a couple of people who are your target audience.
You should ask them, not us.
edit: as you are already running it, make an event of it. contest, vote even (if you trust them), something more elaborate/theatrical if the situation is amenable.
“Cooking class” and it’s about landlords
Maybe axolotl let's you use the sticker.
The North Star Film Club? It's the name of the 1943 Hollywood pro-soviet film.
Northstar Compass film club is a ref to the Canadian friends of the Soviet people organization's newspaper.
RED RAT CINEMA (this would work well with a mascot)
October Kino
There these 2 are for free.
Red Rat Cinema is the goated and obvious answer.
OP if you don't use this I will
Thanks. Me and the team have been working on that one for weeks.
October Kino is good for a horror focus/forward selection.
Extremely mid suggestions for your dogwhistle movie club:
Last Screen on the Left
The People’s Movie Club
Bella Ciao Cinema
Soviet space program inspired:
Zenit or Zvezda or Almaz or Lunokhod or Zond Cinema Club
Last Screen on the Left
That's a good one.
if you don't want to scare the normies i wouldn't use russian lol
Prima Rossa (red sunrise) film club, "¡No pasarán!" Club is fun too
I used to use Le Gamaar Cinema Club for my group, named after the theater from Inglorious Bastards
