The Shorts Show
Yes! It’s happening. We finally found an actual cinema for screening! Now we start the The Shorts Show as a **curated one-hour screening of curated short films**. Before the screening we meet for drinks at the Il Kino bar.
After the films, we stay, talk about movies, filmmaking and connect with other creatives and film lovers. We want to create a relaxed space for (re)discovering your movies. Let’s mingle with fellow filmmakers and experience independent cinema together.
You have to get a ticket at the cinema or better [online here](https://ilkino.de/shows/2026-05-28-1845). Being part of the meetup event doesn't qualify as entrance. There are only 52 seats and half of them are gone already.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Lousy & Lazy SC - Mixed Friendly Football
Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!**
We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.**
Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/).
Rules for lazy & lousy football
1. **Don’t be competitive**
2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges**
3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball**
4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).**
5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.**
6. **Rotate the goalkeeper**
7. **Be a teamplayer**
Waiting list:
This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.

If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.

THE BEAST/ La Bête (2023)
In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives. She (re)lives her life in 1910 Paris and 2014 Los Angeles, and as the procedure goes on, the lines between her worlds become blurred. These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackay’s Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime.
