AN ANTI-COLONIAL FILM CLUB
About Us
Wachale Cineteca is a film club that meets monthly in Northeast L.A. We watch films and experimental videos that help us understand colonialism. By seeing it through the medium of cinema, we are better able to see how it exists in our everyday lives.
Watch and Talk Format
We start with an introduction. After the movies, we open up for conversation. We can talk about important takeaways from the films, geek out about cinematic form, and bring up anything we didn’t like.
When We Meet
Members of the cineteca will usually meet on the fourth Saturday of every month from 2 to 4 p.m.
Kids
Most films are adult-focused, but children are welcome if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. We will note movie ratings for films if they have been rated, but not all films are rated by the MPAA. In those instances, they will be marked NR (not rated). Movie trailers will be provided in advance; we encourage parents to use the film ratings, trailers, and independent research to determine whether a screening is appropriate for their child.
membership is free
Wachale Cineteca does not charge for access to screenings. There is an optional suggested $5 donation to the venue at each screening. Guests will not be turned away for lack of funds. Venue address and details are provided after you reserve a seat.
