Group Rules:
- Please be respectful to all other members and organizers.
- If you sign up for an event and you're unable to attend, please be sure to change your RSVP status so someone else can go. Please note that for events that require the host to make a booking/reservation or that have large waitlists, cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance may be counted as no-shows. If you RSVP and no-show for 3 events, you may be temporarily banned from attending future events.
- Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or any other bigoted comments of this nature will not be tolerated.
- This is not a dating group. While we understand that intimate connections may naturally form between members, the primary goal of this group is to build friendships and create a positive social environment for all. If someone is making unwanted advances and you feel uncomfortable, please contact one of the organizers - we’re here to help.
- Unless explicitly stated, events are strictly 18+. This group is intended for people in their 20's and 30's, and while there is some flexibility for your plus ones - most events will not be suitable for minors.
- Some events may be hosted at places that serve alcohol. While we don’t mind attendees having a drink or two, excessive alcohol consumption or rowdy behavior will not be tolerated - especially if said behavior poses a danger to oneself or others.
---
Breaking any of the stated rules may result in either a temporary or permanent ban.
Our main goal is to create an atmosphere where all members feel included and welcome. Any behavior that impedes this goal will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

See all- Horror Movie Night: Cloud ☁️Dave Barber Cinematheque, Winnipeg, MB
📽️ Thriller Movie Night: Cloud (2024) by Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Join us for a special movie night meetup at your favorite local theater as we watch Cloud (2024), the hauntingly beautiful new film by acclaimed Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Known for his masterful storytelling and eerie atmospheres, Kurosawa’s latest film promises to be a cinematic experience you won’t forget. 😶🌫️
Come solo or bring a friend — the more, the merrier! This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow film lovers, chat about the movie afterward, and just enjoy a unique night out. 🎟️
And don’t forget the essentials — grab a bucket of buttery popcorn, your favorite drink, and settle in for a night of stunning visuals and thought-provoking mystery. 🍿
--------------------------------------
Overview:
"The story centres on Ryosuke Yoshii (Masaki Suda), a factory worker in Tokyo who makes extra money reselling goods online under a pseudonym. After a successful stint, he quits his job and relocates to the countryside with his girlfriend, hiring a local young man to help with his reselling business. However, Yoshii’s seemingly idyllic life is shattered by mysterious attacks from unknown assailants, dismantling his peace as he discovers multiple enemies targeting him.
Kurosawa's exploration of internet-incubated insanity echoes his 2001 film Pulse, now set against the backdrop of today’s pervasive digital hostility. Cloud’s gripping narrative resonates with contemporary fears, depicting how petty grudges can escalate into uncontrollable violence."
