Following a three-year hiatus, the Lafayette Film Society returned last month with an airing of Three O’Clock High, the story of a high school student standing up to an enigmatic, menacing bully inspired by Spaghetti Westerns like High Noon.

Instead of being a venue for simply showing a movie, the club devotes time after the screening to discuss the artistic merits of the film, what worked and what didn’t and more, in the vein of a college-style Film Studies course.

Steve Klawiter, the once and future sponsor of the Film Society was approached by junior Eimi Harris in August with a request to bring the club back from its hiatus.

“In the past couple years, there wasn’t enough student interest to justify keeping the club going,” Klawiter said.

“When Eimi approached me, I wasn’t just hesitant to see if she could get all of the paperwork done. I was curious as to whether she could pull together a large enough group to make bringing the club back worth it,” he continued.

The club’s size is currently sitting around 20 students, with some students not being able to attend some meetings. There’s room for growth, and Klawiter asked members to convince their friends to attend.

The next film to be shown, in honor of the spirit of Halloween, will be renowned director Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho on Oct. 30 at 5:30pm.
