Film Close-ups is a weekly live program featuring a small group of film enthusiasts discussing new independent, foreign or mainstream films, local festivals, and film-related events. We feature interviews with filmmakers, actors, film festival organizers, and many other film-adjacent individuals. Occasionally, there are discussions about the film industry or the state of movie-going in the Bay Area. Produced by Sonia Mistry. Hosted by Greg Scharpen, Esme Agilar, Sonia Mistry, and Chandler Bennett. Every Saturday from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Contact us at kalxfilmcloseups@gmail.com.
