Afterwards, depending on the week, you could find yourself in the Drummond Classics of Cinema evening, an occasional film club that views and discusses cinema classics old and new led by some expert commentary. The goal is to foster a genuine appreciation of what is great in cinema as opposed to what is all show and no substance, not to mention the morally destructive. Or you may find there is a guest speaker or we solve the world's problems in a debate!. On other nights we go out to feed the homeless.
