Creative Block Lab . Small artist cohort in Berlin (limited spots) Hi everyone, I’m a filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist currently based in Berlin, and I’m starting a small in-person cohort for artists who feel stuck, blocked, or disconnected from their work. Over the past years, while making my last film, I went through a long and difficult creative block. In that process, I began researching the emotional and psychological patterns that stop artists from creating. I call them creative monsters, forces like perfectionism, comparison, fear, shame, or paralysis. Creative Block Lab is a small, intimate space where we explore those patterns together and slowly reconnect with the impulse to make honest, authentic art. This is not a technical workshop and not a productivity bootcamp. It’s a reflective, human-centered space for artists of any medium. Format This is a 3-session cohort (same group each time), designed to build trust and continuity. Each session (1.5–2 hours) includes: • Short introductions and check-in • A guided reflection on one or two creative “monsters” • Practical tools or small mindset shifts • A 30-minute creation exercise (you can bring something you’re already working on, or just experiment with simple materials provided) • Group sharing and integration The intention is to: • reconnect with your artistic voice • reduce the pressure to be perfect • create in a supportive, non-judgmental space • leave with practical tools you can use in your daily practice Who it’s for Artists of any discipline: • visual arts • writing • music • performance • film • or any experimental/undefined practice No experience level required. What matters most is honesty and willingness to explore. Important note Because the group is intentionally small (around 10 people), there’s a short application form. This isn’t about selection based on skill or prestige, it’s just to keep the group size intimate and make sure the space feels right for everyone. There are only a few spots left for this first cohort.

**🎬 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!

Hi everyone, this is an invite for film fans. 

this Friday will be the premiere of a short movie from a Brazilian director first, called "Antropico" and then screen “M” by Fritz Lang – Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder (DE with EN subtitles), which will be accompanied by an analysis from The Yaaba Film Company and a group discussion on the moral, social, and psychological questions raised through the film. 
We would love to have someone from your community joining us there!

 Tickets are €13, but include Italian food throughout the night to feed your movie hunger: https://luma.com/k7fc9uvu Program ​📅 Date: February 20th 🕡 Doors open: 6:00 PM ✨ We look forward to watching, thinking, and exchanging with you. Ort betahaus | Moritzplatz Lobeckstraße 30, 10969 Berlin, Deutschland ​Program flow ​​6:30 PM — Introduction Presentation by Weavii Dalila Cataldi and Fabio Muroni from Weavii will introduce the event and welcome the audience. 6:45 PM — Short film Premiere “Antropico” by Matheo Fernandes (a Brazilian Film Director) First Official Public Screening of “Antropico” More about Matheo Fernandes: https://matheofernandes.com/ About “Antropico”: In an indigenous land threatened by the presence of white settlers, Maria, an eighty-year-old artisan, confronts the pain of losing her husband. Months after his death, she awakens from a deep lethargy and decides to paint. Determined to overcome her existential near-death, Maria channels her sorrow into creating a work that may be one of her last ones. This project was made possible with the support of the Brazilian Government, through the Ministry of Culture, with resources from the Paulo Gustavo Law (Lei Paulo Gustavo 2024). ​7:15 PM — Short presentation by The Yaaba Film Company Geronimo Coiro, Akvile Dubinskaite and Emre ACI will introduce The Yaaba Film Company to the audience. Ok ​7:30 PM — Official screening “M” by Fritz Lang – Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder (DE with EN subtitles) ​Geronimo Coiro of The Yaaba Film Company will lead audiences into the unsettling world of Fritz Lang’s M, examining the moral, social, and psychological questions Lang sought to confront through the film. The discussion will explore what Lang expected audiences to wrestle with after leaving the cinema—particularly the private, uneasy conversations about justice, guilt, collective responsibility, and the nature of evil that M provokes. ​Special attention will be given to Lang’s groundbreaking use of sound, narrative structure, and visual design in M, including his innovative approach to off-screen space, silence, and parallel editing, all of which deepen the film’s ethical tension. Geronimo will engage with M as if in a real-time dialogue with Fritz Lang, treating the film as an active conversation—questioning its assumptions, responding to its provocations, and tracing how its ideas continue to resonate with contemporary audiences. ​The film encourages us to compare the past and the present, revealing both social change and enduring themes that continue to resonate today. ​9:30 PM — Discussion & open exchange with the audience Delicious Italian food will be provided to keep you well nourished for a great night of film! Drinks will also be available to purchase on site. ​About Weavii ​Weavii is a Berlin-based platform and community connecting artists, businesses, and cultural spaces to create meaningful collaborations.

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

Oh to be young and filled with joie de vivre or la dolce vita. A french/italian fun filled movie with a surprising twist at the end. Do you have a fun memory from your youth? Location TBD, but it will be in person for sure!
