ACADEMICS at the University of Worcester will be giving an insight into critically acclaimed movies at a new film club.

Experts from the University in film, history, media and culture will introduce a film on Monday evenings, with the films grouped into different genres within the film industry.

The first four films all look at adaptations of novels, starting with

To Kill a Mockingbird, introduced by senior lecturer and course leader for film studies Dr Mikel Koven on Monday, October 15.

Following that, it is The Exorcist on October 22 with professor of early modern history, Darren Oldridge, an expert on demonic possession and exorcism, who will also introduce We Need To Talk About Kevin on October 29, and The Remains Of The Day, introduced by lecturer in film studies, Dr Paul Elliott, on November 5.
