About Us
The mission of the Salve Regina Film Club is to understand, analyze, and discuss film and literature profoundly and critically so that members can grasp the meaning and impact of the visual medium that continues to influence our society. The club aims to create a strong sense of community where students can actively express their opinions and foster an environment in which members accept and celebrate diverse cultural values through honest conversations. Students will watch films from various genres during regular screenings and critique works in terms of cinematography, scripting, acting, and more. Through these activities, participants will deepen their cultural understanding and gain a more comprehensive appreciation of cinema. While technology, like smartphones and social media, has transformed our lives for greater convenience, it has inevitably caused a significant loss of communal experiences that we enjoyed in the past. Consequently, we live in an era witnessing an unprecedented fragmentation of media and culture where people share little in common despite superficial online connections. However, films, with their unique ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought, can play a significant role in developing a collective sense of experience as a common language of entertainment. Considering that cultural fragmentation and content overload seem only to accelerate, people need a community where they can speak, listen, and share their thoughts with others in person more than ever. The Salve Regina Film Club seeks to offer such opportunities for students here so everyone can join and appreciate a sense of belonging.
