På Filmklubben Sandgatan 8 möts vi för att se och diskutera film som kan ge underlag för reflektion. Det vi söker är inte film med “budskap” eller ren underhållning, men film som närmar sig världen med nyfikenhet och öppen blick.
Bra film kan ge fördjupade perspektiv på livet. Där finns det som inte går att förklara, människans och världens mysterium, alla lager av verklighet. En sanning, gömd i den vanliga världen, kan framträda in de minst i de diskussioner som följer på varje film. 
Höst och vår har vi under en följd av år anordnat FilmDagar med ett valt tema, ett bra tillfälle att se flera filmer av en regissör och gå in och undersöka hans värld.
Vänskap och lyssnande är två betydelsefulla ord på Filmklubben.

Medlemsskap i Filmklubben 100 SEK för hösten 2026 tecknas på plats.
Alltid introduktion före och diskussion efter filmen på engelska.
Programansvariga för Filmklubben 2025-26 är Magnus Ingvarsson, Viggo Johnsson, Daniel Markus, Daniel Lange, Mina Nesic och Björn Engdahl, dominikanbroder.
Filmerna visas i samarbete med Dominikanerna och Bilda

At the FilmClub we meet to look at and discuss film. We are not looking for films with a "message" or films that is pure entertainment, but films that come close to the worldwith curiosity and an open gaze.
Good films can deepen the perspectives on life. There you can finswhat is not to explain, the mystery of man and the world, all layers of the reality. A truth, hiodden in ordinary life, can appear, not least in the discussions following the films.
Autumn and Spring our Film Weeks present films by a choosen director, an opportunity to dicover and explore his and our worldview.
Friendship and listening ar two important words at the FilmClub.

Membership 100 SEK for all films Autumn 2026, registration at the entrance

iMPROVISING EVERYDAY- The great tragicomedy of the ordinary in the films of Mike Leigh

And her over there with that fat baby. Cold, cold, cold, and she's walking up and down the street with nothing but a big pink bow on its bald head so everybody can tell it's a girl, like I care. Parading it around in the little outfit. Not dressed for the weather. Nah. With pockets. What's a baby got pockets for?” (Patsy at family dinner, Hard Truths). Few films have as well crafted dialogue as those of Mike Leigh. This is despite, or perhaps rather due to, the fact that it is improvised. In the film's conception, there is only a vague idea, actors and hopefully, a bag of cash from a trusting producer. The rest is worked out through a meticulous process of experimentation and improvisation where the story grows out organically through the actors' interactions. Mike Leigh’s films are thus fundamentally about character. Set in modern or historical England, the characters are sometimes happy, sometimes very unhappy, almost always funny. Viewing every life as a tragicomedy, Leigh, through a career stretching over fifty years, delves into the foundation of both joy and despair.

FILM WEEK
MOVIES BY BÉLA TARR - REGAINING DIGNITY

Béla Tarr was born in 1955 into an artistic family. He became a child actor, but at the age of 14 he instead moved behind the camera. His first amateur films, from 16 onwards, were documentaries about factory-life and impoverished people in Budapest, a conventional social-realist topic in Communist-era Hungary but by Tarr and his comrades eskewed in an anarchistic fashion that was not to the régime’s liking. Tarr was thus banned from university studies. Instead of studying philosophy — the strive of his youth — he continued to shoot movies, and was eventually accepted at film school. His style shifted from realism as he began to collaborate with novelist László Krasznahorkai. We screen three of their works, written by Krasznahorkai, directed by Tarr. In them, we meet Hungarian suburbia and the desolate countryside, where people seem more connected to secret forces in cosmos than to eachother. These movies are famous for their slow, gloomy, black-and-white ambiance. But look closer, and you will see man. Stripped of colours, drama, even personæ, stripped of false beliefs, you will find the dignity of man. Tarr’s ethos sounds strongly in the idiotic buzz of today. He even stopped filming when he had nothing more to say. His movies live on as testimonies of another world, or rather as signals from within. Laureate László Krasznahorkai thanked his companion in his speech at the Nobel Prize banquet of 2025: “To Béla Tarr, who created colours by making them disappear, because in his great films he tries to speak as the sinner who nevertheless, with all his sins, must still be loved.”
