Do you enjoy nothing better than talking non-stop about films to anybody that would listen as well as watching them?
Want to meet new like-minded people to talk about films with who won't get bored with your constant mutterings? Then the Rio Film Club is just for you!
The Club meets every other Sunday (although this pattern can vary occasionally according to the main feature schedule), for the early evening show and after the film heads to the Evin Café for post-film discussion, where you can also enjoy a drink and bite to eat (30 sec walk from the Rio!)
The last and next meetings were and are as follows:
Sun 18 Oct 6.00 - THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS
Sun 1 Nov 6.00 - TALES FROM THE GOLDEN AGE
Sun 15 Nov 6.00 - BRIGHT STAR
Sun 29 Nov 6.30 - A SERIOUS MAN

Not sure what to do this weekend? Bored? Well what are you waiting for mankind! Pop down to Stoke Newington this Saturday evening for Darwin Night! - It's evolving man
SAT 21 Nov • Darwin, Evolution & the Movies (@ The Rio)
Darwin influenced fiction as well as fact and the classic literary works of HG Wells, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Charles Kingsley were all directly inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution and they paved the way for later generations of writers whose work has moved from page to screen. Certainly, the threat (or promise) of future evolution, metamorphosis or mans' descent into savagery have been familiar themes since the movies began. On 24 November 2009 it will be 150 years since On the Origin of Species was published. Time then for a selection of classic movies curated by Carole Jahme, filmmaker and Darwinist, who will introduce both screenings and perform extracts from her 5 star award winning comedy show Carole Jahme is Sexually Selected! enabling the audience to learn about their evolutionary sex appeal by discovering some basic instincts! Mmm....Sounds er interesting.
ALIEN (18) 11.30pm (Saturday 21st Nov, 2009)
(UK/US 1979) dir. Ridley Scott 117m.
Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Ian Holm.
In space, nobody can hear you scream! Or so they say. The terror begins when the crew of the spaceship Nostromo investigates a transmission from a desolate planet and makes a horrifying discovery, a life form that breeds within a human host. ALIEN is a landmark triumph of art direction and special effects with a monster designed by surrealist painter H.R. Giger that is a brilliantly original fusion of insect, man and machine. Darwin would have been fascinated.
+ artist’s short film commissioned by the Wellcome Trust
+ introduction/performance from film-maker and Darwinist Carole Jahme
