English Cinema Club

There is a new place in Kiev where you can find English movies (thanks El-Amin6Kiev for information).

http://masterklass.org/eng/cinema-club

The Masterklass Cinema Club is not only about showing films in English. Before each film a native English speaker will make a short introduction. Afterwards, in our cosy cafe the viewers can relax with a cup of tea and take part in an informal discussion of questions and problems raised by the film.

Every Thursday at 19.00! “Masterklass” English Cinema Club (34 Ivana Mazepy St.). Admission 20 hrivnas

“Films based on Classic British and American Novels” (October – December 2009). The theme of our new season of films is particularly intriguing: how cinema has dealt with some of the greatest works of British and American literature.

This is a post from Al at Butterfly Ultramarine forum :):

Dear Administrators, There not many sources where we, English-speaking community may have a pleasure to watch movies in English. I would recommend you to advertise your service much wider. Not many people know about your “once-per week movie in English. We went this week and there were only TREE people in. You have no idea – how many people would love to see movies not in Russian and Ukrainian languages! One more thing: please ask your support personal not to walk in and out during movie. It is very disturbing. Good luck!
