As the year comes to a close, we are writing independent and international film buffs to consider joining the Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film. We spent 2020 redesigning our website, making it a place for film buffs to find review and start discussions about film, and supporting local indie cinemas through the pandemic, and we’re hoping to reenergize the membership in the coming year. As we look toward the future, we want to build a community of filmgoers across the country and a place where that community can exchange ideas. In addition, we want to continue our long tradition of recognizing the best in independent film as selected by discerning film audiences.
2021 will mark our 27th Chlotrudis Awards, and we want as much input as possible. To nominate and vote for the Chlotrudis Awards you do need to be a member, ad you need to have seen a minimum of 25 eligible films in the previous year. This was a very challenging year for independent film, but there were a lot of terrific films made available through virtual screening and streaming, and we want to acknowledge all the great work that was released in 2020. We are offering a very special Chlotrudis one-year membership offer for only $10 for film buffs across the country! Please take advantage of this special discounted membership any time before December 31, 2020!
To join using this special discount, go to the membership page at our newly revised website. Click on the Grip (if you live in Massachusetts), or the Student/Location Scout (if you live outside of MA or you are a student) membership offer, which ever applies to you. Enter the fields requested, and click on the link that says Have a coupon? There you will enter one of two coupon codes:
For a Grip membership, enter: 2BQG4VFRKA
For a Student/Location Scout membership, enter: TG7UK0858Q
Choose to pay by check (and send your check to the Chlotrudis PO Box) or PayPal.
You will be eligible to nominate, vote, participate in our end of the year Best of the last decade film list, write reviews of films you see, and participate in next year’s Film Festival grant program, where Chlotrudis will offset your costs to participate in a Film Festival virtually, or in person when we get to that phase.
A Chlotrudis membership makes a great gift too! Give the gift of independent film to that film buff in your life!
We are looking forward to welcoming new members to Chlotrudis, and we hope you will consider joining a little community. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Michael Colford, President of the Society.
