After choosing a film, the societies must look for a place to show it, and the options usually boil down to the Science Center, Emerson Hall or the House dining hall. Since they can hold the largest audiences, the Science Center lecture halls are the most desirable, but only two rooms are available each weekend. The main duty of the Film Studies Council is to conduct a lottery at the beginning of each semester to divide the use of the two rooms among the different societies.

You spend two hours yelling absurd things like "DECK HIM! DECK HIM!," and the game's inevitable last-second finish leaves you shaking and babbling all night like a refrigerator on the fritz. That night nothing except counting audibles will put you to sleep...
