It's not a therapy session. It just feels like one...🤷🏻‍♂️ ​Για όσα δεν λέγονται στα τραπέζια... ​ 🎭Ένα διαφορετικό (private) event στο roof top του (Boutique Hotel) Moon & Stars, σε έναν ιδιαίτερο χώρο και με θέα την Ακρόπολη! (Δες φώτο πιο κάτω) 🗓️ Σάββατο 25/4 και ώρα 19:30. ​ 💬 Τι θα γίνει εκεί λοιπόν; Καθόμαστε όλοι μαζί και ξετυλίγουμε ανώνυμα τις σκέψεις μας. Σκέψεις, εξομολογήσεις, ερωτήματα και εσωτερικές ανησυχίες... ​Εκφράζουμε (ανώνυμα) αυτά που μας καίνε, μας φτιάχνουν, μας χαλάνε ή δεν έχουμε πει ποτέ δυνατά ενώ θα θέλαμε. Μιλάμε για ύπαρξη, κοινωνία, φιλοσοφία, σχέσεις, επιλογές, διλήμματα ή και όχι μόνο. (Δε μιλάμε για αθλητικά και πολιτική) ​ 🎲 Τι είναι και πώς λειτουργεί.. ​Μόλις δηλώσεις συμμετοχή, αυτόματα θα λάβεις μέσω email ένα link όπου με όλες τις σχετικές οδηγίες, θα περιέχει μεταξύ άλλων, την φόρμα για να γράψεις και να στείλεις το δικό σου twist ανώνυμα. twist = ένα θέμα προς συζήτηση, ή μία ερώτηση ή μία εξομολόγηση ή μία ιστορία που σε άγγιξε. [Για ακόμη περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες πάτα εδώ να μάθεις!](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gNDtiTrcUOQQmEWunBj4h8FtbE06tZCb2SWhMIhBfnE/edit?usp=sharing) ​Στο event και όταν τα twists αρχίζουν να "ξετυλίγονται" στο τραπέζι, δεν είσαι υποχρεωμένος/η να πάρεις θέση απαραίτητα, εάν ένα twist τύχει να σου προκαλέσει δυσφορία. Αλλά μπορείς να πας "πάσο" μέχρι δύο φορές... ​Αν θες ακόμη περισσότερες και πιο αναλυτικές διευκρινίσεις σχετικά με την διαδικασία ρώτησέ με ή στείλε μου μήνυμα... ​ 🎯 Στόχος; να περιφρονήσουμε τα συμβατικά small talks και να συνδεθούμε μέσα από απαντήσεις που δεν λέγονται η δίνονται τόσο εύκολα. Να γελάσουμε, να νιώσουμε, να σκεφτούμε, να εκφραστούμε χωρίς λογοκρισία, ή ίσως και να ανακαλύψουμε μεριές του εαυτού μας, που για κάποιο λόγο ήταν κρυμμένες ή και που αποφεύγαμε να δούμε... 🎟️ Σε αυτό το event υπάρχει συμμετοχή 9€ έως 12€ για τον συγκεκριμένο χώρο, που περιλαμβάνει κρασί, ή μπύρα στα 9€, ή ποτό στα 12€. Με προκράτηση τα παραπάνω. Πέρα από αυτά μπορεί κάποιος να παραγγείλει κάτι extra αν θελήσει και ανάλογα την διαθεσιμότητα. [Εδώ είναι η φόρμα για να δηλώσεις συμμετοχή!](https://luma.com/vsbyqndx)

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: Details for this event have been confirmed!

"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film. If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
