The IndieWeb Movie Club
Published: | Updated:
I know this is a book blog, but this monthly movie club celebrating film and the independent web involves writing, so it counts, doesn't it? My site, my allowances!

How It Works
At each month's beginning, a host announces their film. After watching, participants write posts on their sites. When you publish your post, you notify the host!
At the month's end, the host compiles submissions, creating a collection of perspectives. Starting in 2026, there's also a monthly Zoom call to discuss the current pick and movies.
To participate, learn more, or host, visit the IndieWeb Movie Club's wiki page.

Host Interviews
Each month, if the hosts have the capacity, I ask them the following five questions about the film they chose. I love learning about how hosts think about their movie picks!
- What's a memory or feeling this film brings up for you?
- If you could pair this film with a meal, what would you serve?
- What scene or moment would you love to hear other people's takes on?
- Who in your life would you most want to watch this with, and why?
- What's a film you almost picked instead, and what tipped the scales?
Listed below are their responses, and what month and year they hosted.
Interviews coming soon!
