March prognosis: More Madfilm Meetups at Sundance

Cannes 2014: Mr Turner

A core component of Madison Film Forum‘s mission statement is their pledge to get as many Madisonians as possible to see one great movie a week. That’s reasonable, especially when they’re doing half the work for you with streaming picks on Netflix Instant and Amazon Prime as well as their Madfilm Meetups, a regular addition to many a What’s Playing, Madison? feature.

This March, Madison Film Forum will host three consecutive meetups at Sundance Cinemas in Hilldale. From MFF’s press release:

“Starting Tuesday, March 3, the Madison Film Forum (madfilm.org) will organize three consecutive Tuesday night ‘Madfilm Meetups’ for Screening Room Calendar films at Sundance Cinemas (Hilldale Shopping Center, 430 N. Midvale Boulevard). Each Meetup will begin at 7:00pm before the early evening shows, and will conclude with informal post-screening discussions in the Sundance Overflow Bar or Great Dane’s Hilldale location. Screening times will be updated at madfilm.org and the Madison Film Forum Facebook page as soon they are announced by Sundance Cinemas.”

Coinciding with this spring’s Screening Room Calendar, MFF hopes to pair lively post-screening discussion with Mike Leigh’s Mr. Turner (Mar 3), vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows (Mar 10), and Leviathan (Mar 17). Shouldn’t be too difficult.
