LSC Membership
LSC is constantly looking for new members to create the genuine movie theater experience in your local lecture halls. We screen Hollywood blockbusters, classic cinema, and foreign and independent films. We also organize lectures featuring diverse speakers such as major science fiction authors, film directors, and web comic artists.
How to Join: Fill out a Blue Form right here.
Why Join?
Because LSC is fun! We bring 30 movies to campus each term in addition to organizing lectures. And we need your help, because it's not easy to serve over 10,000 customers each term!
What you get
As a member of LSC you get lots of stuff:
- FREE ADMISSION to any standard LSC movie event for you and a guest
- FIRST DIBS on reserving tickets for lectures and sneak previews of upcoming Hollywood releases
- DISCOUNTED REFRESHMENTS: save 20% on the already cheap food
- If you stay in LSC for long enough, you can become a permanent member which gives you free admission for life.
What can you do?
There are lots of things to do at LSC, so many that we organized the group into different committees:
Lecture Committee
This committee organizes all the lectures that we bring to campus during the term. The head of the committee (director), does the main searching and contact with the companies that sponsor/manage lecturers. The workers of the group then help the logisitcs of the event, making sure rooms are ready and then manning the doors to check for tickets and crowd control.
Night Committee
The night committee is the main organizer of the movie events and sneak previews that LSC runs every weekend. The night director schedules people to work, and deal directly with sneak companies to try and get many sneaks to MIT. The 'sub-directors' are the ones that run each night, by handling all the money and tickets; the workers help the sub-director by actually selling the tickets and manning the doors.
Projection Committee
This committee does what its name says: projects the movies! In this committee you get to learn how to operate the 35mm projectors, the 6-channel DTS digital sound system, and pretty much all the electronics in 26-100 and 10-250. Plus, if you become a sub-director you get to be licensed as a projectionist by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!
Publicity Committee
Here you help design, print, and distribute all the LSC publicity you have seen around campus. You can also work on making slides for both LSC publicity and other groups and activities that pay LSC to show the slides.
Refreshments Committee
In short: popcorn, soda, candy, hotdogs, and lots of fun! First you help setup all the refreshments in 26-100; then you get free popcorn and soda during your volunteer shift; and at the end of the night you help us clean-up and take all our stuff back to the refreshments room. Come learn how to use S&M, Fred, & Guido (the machines, silly!) & hear quaint stories about them.
