adsw film club


Welcome to the ADSW Film Club. The Film Club is where lovers of classic films and Art Deco film references can share our passions. We will explore the films that mark the start of the Art Deco era, in the 20’s and 30’s, films that reflected the movement in design and subject matter. We’ll talk about the studios, designers, and actors who embodied the spirit of the Art Deco period as well as the following Mid Century Modern period. We will also explore the theaters of the era, their design and their place in society. We will provide knowledgeable posts for your review and discussion.
