Welcome to the AND Creative Film Club!

Come join us at AND Creative Studio for a night filled with cinematic magic. Our film club is the perfect place for movie enthusiasts to gather, watch, and discuss films together. Whether you're a casual movie-goer or a die-hard cinephile, this event is for you!

Curated by our resident film nerds: Each month brings a carefully selected gem from the world of cinema's hidden corners. Think surrealist masterpieces, haunting silent films with live musical accompaniment, and underground treasures that challenge perspectives and expand minds.

The evening unfolds as more than just a screening. Arrive early for pre-film discussions where our curators share insights and context. After the credits roll, dive deeper into post-screening conversations that explore themes, techniques, and the lasting impact of these remarkable works.

Of course, no proper film night is complete without snacks to fuel the experience and discussions.

Join us for a mind-bending journey into Luis Buñuel's surrealist masterpiece, The Exterminating Angel (1962).

What begins as an elegant dinner party at a luxurious mansion takes a darkly absurd turn when the guests discover they simply cannot leave. No locked doors. No physical barriers. Just an inexplicable force that traps them inside as hours turn to days, and civilization slowly unravels.

Buñuel's satirical lens exposes the fragility of the upper class as polished manners give way to primal desperation. This is surrealism at its finest—unsettling, darkly funny, and endlessly interpretable. Why can't they leave? Buñuel himself would say there's no single answer, and that's precisely the point.

After the screening, stick around for a film discussion where we'll unpack the symbolism, debate the meanings, and explore what this strange, brilliant film reveals about society, power, and human nature.

Whether you're a Buñuel devotee or experiencing his anarchic vision for the first time, this is a film that demands to be seen—and discussed—together.
