Let's Talk Film: Greta Gerwig

'Let's Talk Film' is a new social film night at The Electric Palace, a regular space for film fans to meet up in Hastings and discuss all things film!

Whether you’re a budding cinephile or a seasoned filmgoer then this an inviting opportunity to share your love for cinema through informal discussion in an open space and take a closer look at the life and work of the auteurs of the big screen - the individuals behind the camera who have called the shots and crafted cinema experiences that have enthralled generations of moviegoers.

This month, to mark International Women's Day, we are celebrating the work of Greta Gerwig, actor, from starring in Hannah Takes The Stairs (pictured), to writer and director of Lady Bird, Little Women and last year's summer smash hit Barbie (screening with us on Sat 9 March, with Pink fancy dress!).

During the evening we will discuss clips from the Letterboxd Barbie Watchlist. (Psst, we're on Letterboxd too - pay us a visit.)

Doors open at 7pm for informal pre-talk chat.

Talk begins at 7.30pm.

Half time interval for discussion.

Talk concludes at 9.30pm.

Bar remains open until 10pm for further group chat.
