At Brooklyn Ethical, we don’t just watch films. We gather around them.
The Film Club is a bi-weekly drop-in screening for neighbors and film lovers who want more than passive entertainment. Each night we share a carefully chosen documentary or classic, then stay for a facilitated conversation where reactions, questions, disagreements, and personal stories are welcome. No expertise required, only curiosity.
Some films help us understand history. Some illuminate care and community. Others simply remind us how wide human experience really is.
Light snacks, open seating, and a room full of people thinking together. Come for the film. Stay for the conversation.

March Theme: Women’s History Month
This March, the Film Club highlights women as authors of culture and caretakers of life. Our selections explore how women record experience, preserve memory, and shape communities across generations. One film looks at storytelling as survival and identity. The other looks at birth as both intimate care and social reality.
Together they ask a simple question: how do women carry history forward, in words and in bodies?
