FilmByFilm

FilmByFilm is part of the DayByDay Collective. We provide an accessible platform to make meaningful connections through our carefully designed workshops and events, to ensure no one feels alone at any stage of their diagnosis journey.

How FilmByFilm works: Every 4 weeks, there will be an overall theme i.e. romance, or animation, or Pride, or Anya Taylor-Joy etc and each week in that month will relate to the theme.

Week One: Silver Screen Time.

We will talk about a popular film that has been in the cinema the previous month. If you’re a regular cinemagoer or want to start going, this is a great place for you.

Week Two: Getting Reel

This week will be about the film industry. We’ll discuss matters such as: the use of AI, whether able-bodied actors should play characters with disabilities, is the industry is in decline, and why Julia Roberts’ smile is so magnetic. There will also be film quiz nights!. Maybe I’ll throw in some film theory if requested. There’s no homework, don’t worry. This week is for the film lovers and the curious who want to know more about the industry and want to chat with other film fans.

Week Three: Cine-ability

We’ll discuss a film about disability this week. The film may include themes about disability, or a character with disabilities, or an actor with a disability. If the film is linked to disability and chronic illness, we’ll talk about it. This week is for people who want to see more representation of disability on their screens.

Week Four: Timeless Takes

Week four will feature a film from the month’s theme. Bridget Jones for romance month, or Tangled for animation, or Portrait of a Lady on Fire for Pride, or The Menu for Anya Taylor-Joy. Come if you want to watch more films!

Like all good cinema snacks, it’s pic n’ mix. Come every week, or once or twice a month or for a specific month’s theme. Curate your experience as you want.

The events are ticketed. You can get a discount with the code: LUCYMDAYBYDAY.
