Dallas Film Watching Clubs: Your Year-round Film Festival?
Dallas Movie Geeks
by Shawn Mahan
The Dallas Movie Geek Discussion Group meets every Monday night at the Angelika downstairs café at 7:30 p.m..
The group was founded in January 2002 by Angelika Manager Shawn Mahan as the ‘Angelika Roundtable’ - a discussion group for local film buffs. The initial group found its core members made of veterans from a previous weekly movie chat group founded by local WFAA movie critic Gary Cogill.
When Mr. Mahan moved from the Angelika over to the Magnolia, the discussion group remained at the Angelika, but now as a private group (the Dallas Film Geeks) not sponsored by the Angelika.
Still going strong after almost six and a half years – the group offers a home for those film lovers in the Dallas area who want to experience an intelligent, informed, and friendly discussion about all things cinema with other film lovers from the area.
There is no set format to the group or films one is required to watch. The setting is relaxed and the conversation is usually lively.
The group is open to anyone.
