With Lea Seydoux and Tony Leung. “Immersing yourself in the daze of Silent Friend is like accepting a joyous gift, even if you don’t ultimately believe that plants can or want to communicate with us. With her exquisite new work, Ildikó Enyedi has achieved the improbable goal of making non-human, humanistic cinema that is inclusive and reverent without falling into idolization (of plants) or condemnation (of humans).” The Film Stage. “Plenty of things happen, but Silent Friend isn’t traditionally plot-driven. It’s a film of sprawling ideas that float around like pollen, with some particles creating marvelous blooms.“ New York Times. We will meet at the Nova Bar from 3:45 p.m, onwards, please book your tickets early. Stefan - 0437777522

Hi, CaNCELLED due to lack of femme interest. I'm keen to meet in Brunswick on Sunday evening and wondered if anyone is interested in meeting for conversation at 5pm and then potentially catching the free live music? https://m.moshtix.com.au/v2/event/caleb-paine-trio/196264 Hope to see you there! Nia

Join me for a night of fire, light and winter warmth at Firelight Festival, Melbourne's free winter festival taking over Docklands for three fiery nights. Think fire performers, a laser and light show, cultural dance, live music and pop-up food trucks all along Harbour Esplanade. We'll meet at the Cow Up a Tree sculpture at 6:00pm, say hello, then wander into the festival together to soak up the lights, grab some food and see where the night takes us. It's a relaxed, roam-around evening rather than a fixed itinerary — easy to dip in and out of as a group. This is a casual social meetup arranged so we can head along together. It isn't run by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the City of Melbourne or Firelight Festival. The good news: entry is free and no booking is required, so an RSVP here is just to let me know you're coming — it isn't a ticket and doesn't guarantee anything beyond a friendly group to meet up with. Solo attendees are very welcome — this is a great one to come along to on your own and meet a few new people. **Links** * Meetup start point: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WZhcK8yYd7HqgEev9 * Festival program: https://firelight.melbourne.vic.gov.au/program/ * Event map: https://firelight.melbourne.vic.gov.au/map/ * Visitor info: https://firelight.melbourne.vic.gov.au/visitor-info/ **Timeline** * 6:00pm – Meet at the Cow Up a Tree sculpture and say hello 6:15pm – Start exploring the festival together * 9:00pm – Meetup ends (stay on longer if you wish — the festival runs until 10pm) **Cost** Firelight Festival is free and doesn't require bookings. The only thing you'll need money for is food and drinks, so bring some cash or a card if you'd like to eat and drink along the way. **Transport** The festival is at Docklands on Harbour Esplanade. The City of Melbourne notes trams on routes 11, 30, 35, 48 and 86 service the area, and that due to road closures some trams along Harbour Esplanade will stop at Flinders West from 3.30pm. Southern Cross Station is a short walk away across the Spencer Street/Bourke Street footbridge. Heads up: there's an AFL game at Marvel Stadium on Sunday 5 July, so the festival site warns of increased traffic and limited parking. Public transport is the easy option — allow extra travel time and plan ahead. **Bring** * Warm layers — it's a winter night outdoors * An umbrella, just in case (the festival runs rain, hail or shine) * Cash or card for food and drinks * Comfy shoes for plenty of walking **Expect** * Vibe: festive, lively and atmospheric * Pace: easy wandering, lots of stopping to look * Group style: relaxed and social, dip in and out as you like **Important notes** * Firelight goes ahead rain, hail or shine, so rug up. * The festival site can get busy and noisy, so please keep an eye on the group and look after yourself in the crowds. * If your plans change, please update your RSVP so the numbers stay clear for everyone meeting up.

OPEN YOUR SPREADSHEETS AND CHECK YOUR OUTLOOK! It’s time for a send off of our two favourite racks here at Tit Incorporated, two tit retiree’s which will be sorely missed, but necessary to move on to better opportunities, the delicate theatrical mounds of Mx Vergara and the powerful pair from Mx Mascaro. Farewell drinks will begin at 6pm and the party (dancefloor) will start pumping at 8! ([TICKET LINK HERE](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607294)) Seeing as this is a company event, it will be themed so that everyone is in work (in)appropriate attire, and if you choose to come out of office (siren) uniform, there will be an additional fee, so we suggest coming in uniform x. We are raising funds for their formal (medical) goodbye, which will be raised from ticket sales, auctions on the night, merch and vendor sales, dances and a raffle, so bring your cash/be ready to do a very professional cash transfer. There will also be performances with audience incorporated efforts so make sure to come ON DOWN! Their tits have been vital to the company for a combined 23 years, starting their service when they separately commenced puberty, and have been on the clock non stop ever since, so we feel it is important to give them a good send off! Parking the info here so we can circle back later! BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW!!!! Please note Pride of our Footscray is only accessible via two flights of stairs. We apologise for our reduced accessibility.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need.

Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.

On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events.

Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
