Member Organizations
CWRU Film Society
In the early 1970s, there were several film groups on the Case Western Reserve University campus. These groups had formed because of interest in different genres of movies. Along the way, the groups merged and formed the basis of the current CWRU Film Society.
Today, the Film Society is a non-profit, student-run organization dedicated to the promotion of film as an art form. We offer the Case community films of artistic and cultural importance, as well as a number of popular films from recent years.
Visit the Film Society online or e-mail the Film Society about becoming a member.
