Film and Video Production

Lasst uns treffen zu einem weiteren Oscarfavouriten (mit einer unglaublich guten Bewertung auf rotten tomatoes): Marty Supreme- das international ist leider ausverkauft🥲 dafür klappt hoffentlich das Delphi wo die 70mm Fassung läuft!! Vorstellung Marty Supreme, FSK 12, Mittwoch, 4.3 2026, Treffen ab 19:00 und gerne danach und davor austauschen zum Film, Lieblingsfilmen und was immer euch begeistert. Lg Laura Marty Supreme ist ein US-amerikanisches Filmdrama[2] von Josh Safdie. Der Film ist lose vom Leben des amerikanischen Tischtennisspielers Marty Reismans inspiriert, die in den 1950er-Jahren spielende Geschichte ist jedoch fiktiv. Marty Supreme ist der erste Film von Josh Safdie nach Beendigung der kreativen Zusammenarbeit mit seinem Bruder Benny. Die Hauptrolle übernahm Timothée Chalamet. Das Werk wurde Anfang Oktober 2025 im Rahmen des New York Film Festivals uraufgeführt.

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

**NOTE: We have tentatively planned to meet at Banja Luka -- either indoor or outdoor depending on the weather -- but this might change and would be updated here.** Join us for another friendly Music Producers Meetup! This event is open to producers of all genres, skill levels, and backgrounds. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, you’ll find a welcoming space to connect, share ideas, and get inspired. Bring your latest projects, network with like-minded creatives, and enjoy casual conversation over drinks and snacks. There’s no set agenda—just a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can mingle, exchange tips, and support each other’s musical journeys. Feel free to bring your music to share, and don’t hesitate to invite friends or collaborators. All genders, ages, and DAWs are welcome. Let’s keep building Berlin’s vibrant producer community together! We look forward to seeing you there! Stay connected: Telegram group: https://t.me/musicproducersberlin Instagram: @musicproducersberlin

**Update: New Location! The Social Hub in Mitte** Join us at The Social Hub in Mitte on the first Wednesday of every month for a fun, casual evening of socializing with other Berlin screenwriters. No agenda. Just drinks and good conversation. It's an informal event so just show up and meet some great people! Our Happy Hour is the first Wednesday of every month starting at 7:30pm and going until ??? Be sure to look for our sign on one of the tables. See you there!

**In association with the Berlin Portrait Academy and PAKD Gallery / PAKD Art Lab** * **[www.berlinportraitacademy.com](http://www.berlinportraitacademy.com**)** * **[www.pakd-gallery.com/artlab](http://www.pakd-gallery.com/artlab**)** * **Cost: 15 Euros** A regular opportunity to study the nude or portrait from life for 3 hours, every single week! We have one long pose - you can choose whether to draw several studies from different angles around the room, or take your time to do a single sustained drawing or painting in full detail. The pose is held for 20 minute intervals with five minute breaks in-between so the model to rest and stretch, and so artists can move between seats if they choose. We provide some materials such as paper, pencils & pastels for free. Canvases, brushes and acrylic paint can be purchased at the event. We hope to see you there very soon!

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 10:15. For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come. We are typically by the large windows facing the U-Bahn entrance. 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/).

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. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. 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!*

Let us enjoy the animations we want to make! PS: The café has another floor, take some time to look upstairs ;)

This time we will be discussing Marty Supreme (2025) :) We’re a group of people who enjoy films and talking about films. We meet on Sunday in a cafe/bar and have a relaxed discussion about the film. We talk about how we felt about the film, and what we liked or disliked about it. Don't forget to watch the film before joining the meetup :)
