Sunday Screenings in the Living Room
Weekly screenings from a large archive of many of the most significant, yet seldom seen and rarely accessible cinematic masterpieces in the history of film - from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Screenings are in original language, if English, or original language with English subtitles.
Films are selected democratically on the inspiration of a brief pre-screening discussion. The selected title is typically a "neglected gem" that most of us discover together for the first time. Individual taste is not a criterion and all participants are expected to put the interests of the group as a whole above personal preference or prejudice. In this sense, the emphasis is on openness, exploration, and surprise. Each screening is followed by an in-depth group discussion, led and moderated by the curator.
WARNNG: FilmStory is not just about watching movies! Rather, it's a socially responsible, intellectual engagement, involving an organic approach to group study of film language, philosophy, art, history, politics, and technology. In this sense, the film is always merely the current highlight in an explorative, ongoing group discussion.
**FilmStory** is a members-only series that involves a closely knit community of cinephiles. Events take place every Sunday in a comfortable, private setting with limited capacity. Participation is reserved primarily for regular members, but we're always ready to make new friends!
Non-regular members may request to meet the community and, upon acceptance as a "new joiner," are welcome to participate in one event, according to space availability. New joiners are asked to make a €6 member dues contribution in advance of the requested date. New members receive a message of confirmation and the address of the Living Room in 1080 Vienna upon receipt of their dues contribution.
**FilmStory** is presented and hosted by **[KulturSalon Wien](https://www.meetup.com/kultursalon-wien/)**.
Lachflash Comedy Open Mic – Dein Sonntag @TheComedyPub endet mit Lachen
**Deutschsprachiges Comedy Open Mic in Wien. Lachflash statt Tatort – der perfekte Sonntagabend mit neuen Comedians & freiem Eintritt.**
# [HOL DIR DEINE TICKETS HERE!!!](https://www.universe.com/events/lachflash-comedy-open-mic-dein-sonntag-thecomedypub-endet-mit-lachen-tickets-8QGW97?ref=MeetUp)
Sonntagabend und du überlegst, ob du dich mit Netflix aufs Sofa wirfst oder dich schon auf den Montag vorbereitest? Falsch gedacht! 😏 Wien hat jetzt eine bessere Antwort: **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic**. Jeden Sonntag um 18:00 wird *The Comedy Pub* zur Bühne für deutschsprachige Stand-up-Comedy – roh, echt, witzig, manchmal absurd und immer überraschend. Der perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang für alle, die nicht aufhören wollen zu lachen.
**Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist das große Finale des Wochenendes. Hier bekommst du einen wilden Mix aus **Newcomern**, die ihre ersten Schritte auf der Bühne machen, und **erfahrenen Comedians**, die neues Material ausprobieren. Manchmal entstehen hier Jokes, die in ein Jahr später in Specials oder Fernsehsendungen landen. Manchmal scheitert ein Gag glorreich – und genau das sorgt für die lautesten Lacher des Abends.
Mit **vielen Comedians pro Show** (oft mehr als 10!) erwartet dich ein abwechslungsreicher Abend:
* Überraschende neue Stimmen, die dich mit ganz frischem Humor überraschen
* Kreative Experimente, die kein Mainstream-Comedy-Club sich trauen würde
* Scharfe Pointen von erfahrenen Comedians, die genau wissen, wie man eine Crowd zum Toben bringt
Kein Sonntag gleicht dem anderen. Jede Show hat ein komplett neues Line-up – das macht **Lachflash** zu einer Serie, die man immer wieder besuchen kann.
Und das Beste: Hier ist das Publikum nicht nur dabei, sondern ein aktiver Teil des Abends. Deine Lacher, dein Applaus, dein Staunen – all das beeinflusst, wie die Comedians ihre Jokes entwickeln.
## 🤔 Was ist ein Open Mic?
Ein Open Mic ist das Herzstück der Stand-up-Szene. Es ist keine perfekt inszenierte Show – sondern ein Ort, an dem Comedy entsteht. Hier probieren Comedians ihre neuesten Texte aus, feilen am Timing, improvisieren mit dem Publikum und lernen, was funktioniert.
Das heißt:
* Manchmal knallt ein Joke sofort – und alle feiern.
* Manchmal floppt eine Pointe – und genau daraus wird ein unvergesslicher Moment.
* Immer aber ist es spannend, nahbar und authentisch.
Wenn du echte Comedy erleben willst – ohne Filter, ohne Drehbuch, ohne Sicherungsnetz – dann ist ein Open Mic genau dein Ding. Und **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist Wiens neue Adresse dafür am Sonntag.
## 🍻 The Comedy Pub – Das Zuhause der Stand-up-Comedy in Wien
Die Show findet im **The Comedy Pub** (Kettenbrückengasse 7, 1050 Wien) statt – Wiens erster und einziger echter Comedy-Club. Während andere Bars ab und zu Comedy hosten, ist das hier das Zentrum einer Szene.
Oben erwartet dich ein gemütlicher Irish Pub mit Drinks, Snacks und freundlicher Atmosphäre. Unten im Altbaukeller – oder im offenen Pub-Bereich – wird jede Woche Stand-up gespielt, getestet und gefeiert. Die Location ist bekannt für ihr **nahbares, internationales Publikum** und ihr warmes, intimes Ambiente.
Und das Beste: mit der U-Bahn-Station **Kettenbrückengasse (U4)** direkt vor der Tür bist du in wenigen Minuten mitten im Geschehen.
## 💡 Eintritt frei – Spenden willkommen
Comedy lebt von Community. Damit möglichst viele Menschen Stand-up erleben können, ist der Eintritt frei. Aber: Lachen ist wertvoll – und wenn du einen **Lachflash** hattest, dann zeig das! Am Ende der Show geht ein Hut rum, in den du geben kannst, was es dir wert war. Fair, direkt und die ehrlichste Form von Applaus.
## 🎟️ Regeln fürs Publikum
Damit die Show für alle ein Erlebnis wird, bitten wir dich um ein paar einfache Dinge:
* Sei pünktlich – die Türen öffnen 17:30, Showstart ist 18:00.
* Hör zu und respektiere die Bühne – Comedians geben hier alles.
* Lachen ist Pflicht – und zwar ohne Zurückhaltung!
* Kein Heckling – die Gags kommen von den Profis. 😉
* Spenden sind willkommen – support your local comedy!
## 🎉 Warum Sonntag?
Viele denken: Sonntagabend = Couch, Serien, früh ins Bett. Aber warum so trist? **Lachflash Comedy Open Mic** ist der perfekte Gegenentwurf: eine Show voller Energie, Lachen und Überraschungen – bevor der Montag wieder ernst wird.
* Es ist der **perfekte Wochenend-Ausklang** – Comedy statt Tatort!
* Ein Fixpunkt, der dich mit einem Lächeln in die Woche schickt.
* Ein Raum, in dem du neue Comedians entdeckst, die du sonst nie gesehen hättest.
* Und: die einzige regelmäßige deutsche Comedy-Show am Sonntag in Wien – im einzigen Comedy Club der Stadt.
Kurz gesagt: Sonntag gehört jetzt nicht mehr dem Montagsblues, sondern dem Lachflash.

Meditation and Connection Circle
Join us for our next circle!
**Please reserve your spot via Luma!**
https://luma.com/07wcuoir
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
An evening to slow down, **meditate, and have thoughtful conversations with new people** and make genuine connections.
**No meditation experience needed — just curiosity!**
**What to expect**
This isn’t a meditation class. It is a space where mindfulness and community meet.
Each Circle has three simple parts:
**Meditation — Conversation — Connection**
• **Meditation:** a short (around 20 min) meditation, where I give minimal guidance and we sit in silence together
• **Conversations**: afterwards we create a safe space for conversations that go beyond small talk. We explore how mindfulness can impact different areas of our lives, with a new topic in each circle. You may share or just observe and gain new insights, both are welcome!
• **Community:** in the end there will be plenty of time to connect with others in a non-structured format around tea and snacks. Something I've been missing when doing meditation classes elsewhere. To connect with like-minded people!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Costs:**
To keep these circles sustainable and cover the rental cost, a contribution of **€15** is suggested. If your current circumstances make this a challenge, **€10** is also perfectly fine—no questions asked.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**Background:**
Hi, I’m Katja. I’ve been meditating for over a decade. Why the practice brought tremendous benefits into my life and made me a genuinely happier person, I always felt something was missing: **a non-religious community around it.**
A space for people who meditate, or are curious about it, but also crave deep, authentic connections with others. Where we can meditate together and talk about the benefits and challenges that come with the practice. To **turn** **it from a solitary practice into a shared experience.**
Come join me, if that resonates with you!
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
*For more info, please see www.kinspace.at*
**FAQs**
* Can I come alone?
Absolutely. The purpose of the circle is to make it easy to meet others in a natural and relaxed way.
* In what language will the circle be held?
The main session will be held in English to keep it inclusive for everyone.
During breakout conversations, you’re welcome to speak German or any other language if others in the group share it.
* Is this similar to authentic relating?
The circle has a simple and accessible structure focused on meditation and meaningful conversation. While it’s not an authentic relating event per se, some people may notice similarities in the way it creates space for presence, openness, and genuine connection.
* Do I need meditation experience?
Not at all. Beginners are very welcome. I’ll provide simple guidance to help you settle in.
* Do I have to speak during the circle?
No. Sharing is always optional. You’re welcome to simply listen and observe.
We do ask that what is shared in the circle stays in the circle, creating a space of trust.
* What should I bring?
Just come as you are. Comfortable everyday clothes are perfect.
To respect the shared silence, I'd ask that phones are turned off and put away during the circle.
* What if I’m running late?
To preserve the atmosphere of the circle, we'll start on time.
Please try to arrive 5–10 minutes early.
Sunday Badminton/Intermediate +/2 h/10 Euro/Feather/Tennis point
To contact the main organizer for any information about our events, please use this number:
+436767401074 (Also WhatsApp)
Welcome to our friendly badminton event!
Let's get moving, improve our game, and make new friends.
We will be playing every Sunday from 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM.
**Very important: this event is for you if your level is intermediate or any higher level above that. 🏸🙂**
**If you're joining us for the first time, the organizer will contact you directly to confirm that you have the required level for this event.**
Feather shuttlecock will be used for this event, and it will be provided by the host.
The location: Tennispoint, Baumgasse 87, 1030 Wien
The Price: We try our best to provide you with the best price in Vienna. You will be paying 10 euros for 2 hours.
How to pay: We accept card payments and cash (card payments are preferred)
Number of players: It depends on how many courts we get, 6 for 1 court and about 10-11 for 2 courts (so we can take a small break between matches)
Remember to bring your own racket please, or you can rent one at the reception for about 3 euros
**Cancellation policy:**
1- Canceling 48 hours before the event = free cancellation
2- Cancellation after the 48-hour deadline = we will ask you kindly to pay the event fee if we are not able to find a suitable replacement. (No exception)

See you on the court :)
Science and Philosophy Discussion Table
This is a group for meeting new people, eating brunch, and having discussions about science, life, philosophy, politics, and people.
Anybody is free to join, and we charge no fees.
This discussion group aims to have the absolute minimal level of structure necessary to ensure the conversation remains engaging to the majority of people present. In particular, we \*don't\* have fixed order of speaking or timed statements.
So far, the balance we've struck is enforcing hand raising when conversation gets intense in order to minimize interruption, and to give the chair (me!) the power to occasionally call a snap election on the conversation topic.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
