What we’re about
" CINEMA IS THE MOST UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD " - "IN FILM WE TRUST"
Mostly what types of films would you like to watch ? SYDNEY ALTERNATIVE FILMS is a Public meetup group designed for those interested in watching (and discussing afterwards) Alternative Films such as exhibited at the many Film Festivals held in Sydney.
Our aim is to get like-minded people together who share a common interest of watching alternative movie films in Sydney cinemas. After watching films, we usually like to go for a drink to catch up and share our views on the creative visual art behind the making of movie magic, that starts with script script script.
Alternative Films are cinema movie films that try to provide on-srceen activities that depart from and/or challenge expected and traditional norms, as provided by commercial media companies and their conventional topics. These independant European/Asian/Latino films usually deal differently with diverse subjects, societal expectations, opposing points of view, and the formal elements that are not often found in mainstream Hollywood. Of course you expect alternative movie films to NOT provide the expected Hollywood Happy Ending, and you choose to be taken on a unique journey where all endings are possible.
The categories of films that we mostly like to see and discuss are Foreign films, International films, Independent films, Experimental films, Intellectual films, Drama, Documentay, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Mystery, Romance, Animation, Mockumentary, Saga, Satire, Science Fiction, Historical Fiction, Historical Non-Fiction, Magical Realism, and short film festivals. The films that are not included are Musicals, Westerns and Horrible Horror films.
The Alternative Films meetup group is free to join and is open to the public. So feel free to come along on your own or with your friends and join in on the events. Also, you are very welcome to make any suggestions or even organise an outing to watch your own favourite alternative film in our meetup group in Sydney cinemas.
Hope that you will enjoy this sense of community, with our more than 2000 members in Sydney.

SYDNEY ALTERNATIVE FILMS meetup group, acknowledges the traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners of country, throughout Australia and pays our respects to them, their culture and their Elders past, present and future. E.&O.E. Yes our organizers strive for accuracy, but as humans, we do on occasion make mistakes.
MEETUP disclaimer and the Terms and Conditions for SYDNEY ALTERNATIVE FILMS members
So we can keep this meetup group as enjoyable as possible for everyone, there are few conditions we would like our members to be aware of. Most people will find these conditions to be common sense. If any of these conditions seem unfair to you, or you do not agree with them, then SYDNEY ALTERNATIVE FILMS meetup group may not be the correct meetup group for you.
Number of people at Events and attendance.
Firstly, you must be 100% committed to attend any meetup event that you have registered to, regardless of the weather conditions. If the weather is considered extreme by the organiser, he or she will change or cancel the event. If you ticked the RSVP YES BUTTON for a meetup event and you cannot attend, please immediately change your RSVP. It is your responsibility to manage your RSVP and your RSVP wait lists. If you are in a position where you often change your ticked RSVP YES BUTTON to the "not going" cross, please do not tick the RSVP YES BUTTON until you are 100% committed to attend. We always monitor all RSVP and all RSVP changes, because often we do have wait lists due to the popularity of our meetup events. Hence we may need to remove those repeat offenders from group or particular events. We limit the numbers of participants at some of our meetup events due to logistical issues, in order to better enjoy a particular meetup or in more remote places for safety concerns.
An important note: Guests are bound by the same terms and conditions as members, and it is the member's responsibility to provide the full terms and conditions to any guests included on their RSVP YES.
Health and Safety, Personal Responsibility - Disclaimer
Our activities are recreational and casual. All participants and their guests by choosing to RSVP YES to any event are agreeing to take full responsibility and liability for their own safety and health at all times during the meetup event. Attendees will at no time hold the organiser and/or leader/event host responsible for any accident, misadventure or ill health that may occur whilst attending an event including damage to or loss of equipment/belongings. Children are not permitted to attend meetups unless specified and at the permission of the event host or leader. Each child must be monitored 100% of the time by the parent or parents. Attendees who RSVP YES for an event agree that it is their responsibility to ensure they are fit enough to attend the event and to ensure they have sufficiently researched the activity, and the prevailing weather conditions and warnings in order to make an informed decision whether or not the event is suitable for them.
Important note: This meetup group, its organisers and leaders accept no liability during this meetup event. Leaders will try to ensure the safety and well-being of members at all times, however, accidents may happen. Please take responsibility for your own safety and your belongings.
Starting Times
Our meetups start on time. In most cases we cannot wait for you if you are running late, as this sets back our schedule and also keeps a large group waiting, which is unfair to the majority that turn up on time. Please always give yourself plenty of extra travel time, to allow for the expected Sydney traffic delays and Sydney public transport delays, plus for the extra travel time taken to walk to the venue meeting point.
Fees
Some paid meetup events will incur other fees, and those fees will always be clearly indicated. Please check each meetup events thoroughly before you press the tick button to RSVP YES. Most of those paid meetup events are non-refundable, so please make sure you are 100% committed to attend to avoid disappointment. In most cases, you will be responsible to buy your own ticket in the case of cinema movies, concerts, fund-raisers or such similar events. E. & O.E.
Important: Most cafes/restaurants do not allow to split the bill, hence you need to always bring CASH and including LOOSE CHANGE - GOLD COINS to pay for your food/drinks OR your part when we share the food.
Stay on topic
The main purpose or topic of this group is to have fun. Put simply, do activities that makes you laugh and have a good time. This meetup group is not a single-mingle dating group. Some members are, for good reasons, quite annoyed by coming to activities on this group and being picked-up for dating. It is highly recommended that you find another meetup group that is tailored for that specific purpose, where you would be more welcomed and that the members would be in a state of mind, where they are ready to deal with that dating kind of expected behavior.
Communication/Publication/Comments on Website
Please remember that our organisers put in a lot of time and effort, to make this meetup group as enjoyable and rewarding as possible. If you are unhappy with something, or wish to make a comment on how the group is run, please respect the organisers by communicating with them directly, and not openly in the open forum. This gives them an opportunity to assist you. If there is a problem whilst on a meetup event, please contact the leader as soon as possible rather than discuss with other members.
