-
Going to the cinema is something you can do just casually for fun or
with a more serious purpose of learning from the film as well, or learning
more about the cinema and film making.
-
You can go to see films
either at a commercial cinema complex or a film theatre
if there is one near you. You can also join a film club which may
have a special programme of film showings.
-
There is a wide range of
types of films that you can take an interest in, including
documentaries and shorts as well as the normal feature films.
Film theatres (or art movie houses) are more likely to show foreign
language films and others of particular interest to serious film goers.
-
You can also add to your
knowledge of films by renting special videos or investigating movie
sites on the Internet.

Skills and people
-
Providing you are above the age limit for the film in question, and can
afford the admission charge, anyone can
go to see films.
-
You can go to films on your own, but many people like to go with
friends, and others like to join a local film club or group which puts on
films and videos and holds discussions about them on a regular basis.
-
Membership of
such groups is likely to range widely in terms of age groups and will
include both sexes.

A place or facilities
