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!

The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 10:45. For space reasons we only allow a limited number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come. We'll probably be grouped around the large table in the back room's center. In the summer, also outside. Looking forward to seeing you there!

**🎬 Screenwriters' Meetup Invitation 🎬** This meetup is for anyone passionate about storytelling—whether you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, or someone with a great idea looking for the right collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your screenplay, this is the perfect space to create, collaborate, and refine your work. **When You Bring Your Screenplay, Think About Three Key Ingredients:** 1. **Your Main Character** – Who are they? What drives them? 2. **The Central Conflict** – What’s at stake? What’s standing in their way? 3. **The Theme** – What’s the deeper idea that motivates you to tell this story? If you’re struggling to find a theme, define your character, or establish a strong conflict—don’t worry. That’s exactly what this meetup is for. We’re here to help you uncover the core of your story and give you the tools to develop it further. Already have an elaborate story? Great! Reflect on these elements: * **Compelling Characters** – Are they layered, dynamic, and memorable? * **Inner Conflicts, Interpersonal Tensions, and Global Stakes** – Does your story operate on multiple levels? * **A Strong, Personal Theme** – Does your theme resonate with you and give your story purpose? If you can identify these elements, we can dive even deeper and give you focused, constructive feedback to help your screenplay reach its full potential. Bring your ideas, your drafts, and your passion. Let’s collaborate, challenge each other, and create stories that matter. We can’t wait to see you there!

Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday.

For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

**Move Capital. Move Talent. Move Africa.** Africa is the youngest continent on earth. By 2050, 1 in 5 people globally will be African. Yet African startups still receive less than 1% of global VC funding. What is the real problem? Is it time to tap into the estimated $95–100 billion USD in remittances sent by the diaspora? This Africa Day, in partnership with the Westerwelle Foundation, which has just published The German–Africa Investment Report, we will go deep into the gaps to explore : 📈 How Africa’s startup ecosystem is growing 🌍 Which New markets are rising, and how to pay attention to them 💡 Which segments pose the greatest returns outside of FinTech 🤝 How to take the best next step as an investor, proven by research. The event welcomes: Founders, Investors, Operators, the diaspora, and Institutional partners looking to make their moves into the African Market with intention. To our network members and partners who have been looking to make the move from remittances → to investment, from fragmented effort → to ecosystem building. This event is for you. Culminating from this event will be our delegation trip to #Nigeria and #Ghana in September in Collaboration with GITEX Nigeria and South Africa, and Namibia in November. Move Africa. #AfricaDay #AfricaRising #AfricanDiaspora #InvestInAfrica #AfricanInnovation #investment #funding # VC #Angelinvesting #African Excellence #Excellence #Leadership #FutureOfAfricaEvening Programme **SCHEDULE** 18:30 Arrival Networking reception Guests arrive. No job titles on badges — just names and country of origin. The room begins to know itself before the panel starts. 19:00 Opening Welcome & the diagnosis — 10 mins The host frames the evening in plain language. Not a speech — a provocation. Four sentences stating the diagnosis. Then the panel takes the stage. 19:10 Panel · 50 mins The conversation — moderated, flowing, unscripted Four panellists. One moderator. The conversation moves through the diagnosis naturally — from the wealth gap, to the talent drain, to the trust deficit, to the intention trap. No fixed questions. The moderator's job is to keep the room honest and the conversation moving toward one inevitable question: so what do we do about it tonight? 20:00 Panel · Open floor The room joins the conversation — 20 mins Not a Q&A. The moderator selects three or four people in the room — pre-identified — to add their perspective. Brief, pointed contributions that deepen the diagnosis rather than repeat it. The panel responds. The room feels heard. 20:20 Break Drinks — 20 mins The panel comes off stage and into the room. Guests speak directly with panellists. The conversation continues informally — which means it deepens.

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 11:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

We are going to be seated together at **the big table on the 1st floor** of the cafe. As always, we will do **two sessions of each 45 minutes** of writing with **one break of 15 minutes** in-between. We are making reservation and counting on you to show up, so please register only when you are going to be there, don't forget to update your RSVP if you can't come. Unfortunately cafes in Berlin are getting less and less laptop-friendly, please don't forget to order your drink or snack to support the cafe which will have us. If you are new to the meetup, don't worry, just come and say hi to the organizer. We also have many long-term regulars who will be happy to help you out and feel welcomed. We also have a **Telegram chat**: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit: https://shutupwrite.com Looking forward to see you! 😊

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
