Film Industry

Come along to BFI downstairs bar last Thursday of the month. For a relaxed sit-down social - Starting 7pm. An informal meetup/drinks open for anyone pursuing or developing personal film-making goals. **Format / Schedule** This isn't a formal networking event: it is for newcomers and outsiders, to be able to meet and chat socially. Also a chance to share personal input about different events and resources we have found useful. Or would help others find what they need. (Nothing beats word of mouth.) ..... 7.00pm-7.45pm - Arrive / Get drinks or food. 7.45pm-8.30pm - We will take some time to speak as a group and share (if you are comfortable): -To say what we're most looking to find, from networking. -What we've found most hard to find, so far. -What we've found most easy to find. -To take the opportunity to exchange personal information, and share any resources we’ve come across which would be useful to others. 8.30 - 9.30 You're welcome to stay on longer and keep chatting, no pressure to stay, we'll be meeting every month. .... Free to attend- No expectation of professional background, or active projects - just interest! To connect with others, creatively or socially. We don't have set activities or pressure to pitch. Just space to discuss any personal interests or goals, with new faces; or catch up with ones you already know. We'll have a table in main downstairs bar, from 7pm. Look out for a sign. Make sure to RSVP/update if you can't attend, so we have an idea of numbers. And message on here if you have queries before attending. **Access** Venue has step-free access via more than one entrance. Accessible and private toilets, on ground floor.

***🧛 Seduction. Romance. Murder. The things one does for love!*** 👋 **Hey Everyone!** Let’s meet up for Thursday night drinks and the **UK premiere** of the hilarious (so I hear) new **4K restoration** of **Vampire’s Kiss** starring **Nicolas Cage**. The screening will be taking place at one of my favourite spots, the **Prince Charles Cinema**, and will also include an **exclusive** **Q&A** with director **Robert Bierman**. The movie itself is a unique yuppie-comedy-horror that predates American Psycho by many years and follows a narcissistic New York literary agent, as he descends into madness. After a one-night stand with a mysterious woman who bites his neck, he becomes convinced he is transforming into a vampire. **The plan** is to meet beforehand at the **Victory House Wine Bar** for a little vampire chit-chat before heading over to the cinema next door, where there’s another fun bar to hang out. The film will be playing in **Screen 1**, where you’ll find me in seat **D6** in case you’d like to sit in the same row. **Afterward**, we’ll regroup one more time for a little **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** **review** and **post-film discussion** before heading home. You can find a **full schedule breakdown and addresses below**. It should be a really fun night out. Until then, I’m looking forward to seeing you guys there! **Your buddy,** **Matt 🦇** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you **sign up** and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a message (**or change your RSVP**) — You can also follow our club **[@thehideoutmax](https://www.instagram.com/thehideoutmax/)** on instagram for fun updates. 🗓 **SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN** * **7:30 PM:** Drinks (Victory House Wine Bar) * **8:30 PM:** Prince Charles Cinema (Screen 2) * **11:00 PM:** Q & A * **11:30 PM:** Review 📱**STAY CONNECTED** * Join our WhatsApp or Telegram groups (available by request), or hop onto our **[WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDvGuK0AgW8KPxOnG2V)** or **[Telegram Channel](https://t.me/thehideoutuk)** for quiet updates without the chat.

This event will be for people to meet, go off and film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you! MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE. If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc. With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following: 1. We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank. 2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed) 3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film. BUT 4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc. Remember to bring: 1. You and your enthusiasm 2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever) 3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt! The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize! Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours. Look forward to seeing you there!

**🚪₪ Through endless, untold rooms, I’ve found my way here… The more they remember me, the less they let me go. And the only thing louder than my heartbeat is the silence.** 👋 **Hello guys!** Let’s meet for this intriguing concept film directed by **Kane Parsons.** It’s based on his own **[web series](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVAh-MgDVqvDUEq6qDXqORBioE4Yhol_z)**, inspired by the **[Backrooms Creepypasta](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgjHA-1VRK4)**, a horror legend that’s been widely shared online. **The Backrooms** themselves are a fictional location that originated from a **[2019 4chan thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/backrooms/comments/xn7e0j/the_origin_of_the_backrooms_was_a_post_on_4chan/)**, so there are quite a few rabbit holes to go down here. It’s crazy how many big names are producing this—Osgood Perkins, James Wan, and Shawn Levy, to name a few. The premise of this **A24** expanded supernatural, science fiction, psychological horror—yeah, quite the mouthful—follows a therapist investigating a mysterious, infinite, damp, yellow-walled dimension after a patient disappears through a doorway. Let’s make this a **film and social** with plenty to talk about. We’ll start with some **predictions** and **theories** at the **Victory House Wine Bar** from **4:30pm**. Then at **5:15pm** will be on our way to **Vue Cinema (Screen 9)** where you'll find me in seat **L8**, but you can pick what works for you.

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.

In the year 2044, in the age of AI, a woman named Gabrielle (Seydoux) tries to purify her DNA by purging the inherited memories of her past lives. She (re)lives her life in 1910 Paris and 2014 Los Angeles, and as the procedure goes on, the lines between her worlds become blurred. These three timelines have a lot of connective tissue holding them together; certain symbols and motifs appear repeatedly, not to mention Mackay’s Louis, a figure whom Gabrielle seems drawn to in each lifetime.

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!
