Autumn Term 2015

The term began with three well-attended free screenings of Zootropolis, but struggled because of Socs Fed increases (impacting on society membership throughout the university) paired with an increase in ticket prices, and a poorly-received summer in Hollywood. There was a general AllNighter (the mystery film was Kill Bill Vol. 1), and special screenings were held with Warwick Pride and Warwick For Women International.
