Kerek Perec Filmklub: Magyar Menyegző
As the weather looks a bit gloomy next weekend, it’s the perfect time to join us for our very first film club event. We’ll meet at Tabán Art Cinema to watch "Magyar Menyegzők", a truly unique film that stands out as Hungary’s first “folk dance” movie. It features a beautiful soundtrack, stunning traditional costumes, and vibrant dancing that bring the story to life. Set in Transylvania in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the film also offers a glimpse into the political and historical atmosphere of the time, making it not only visually engaging but culturally rich as well.
After the screening, we’ll head to a nearby coffee shop where, depending on your level, we'll split into smaller groups to chat about the movie, weddings, cinema, and history.
The film will be shown with English subtitles, so everyone can enjoy it. The discussions are divided to three levels: complete beginner(A1), foundation(A2) and intermediate(B1)
You can purchase your ticket through the Cooltix link, which includes your cinema ticket. If you’re a student under 26 and can verify your student status at the cinema, you’re eligible for a discounted price.
You can buy your ticket here which includes the move ticket:

Make Yourself Memorable: Standing Out in a Crowded Market
We are back. And yes, we're keeping the Friday tradition alive!
For this event, we’re cutting through the noise. In a world where everyone is shouting for attention, being "good" isn't enough anymore, you have to be **unforgettable**.
This time, we’re dissecting the art of becoming truly memorable, both on stage and on the screen.
This isn’t about cheap marketing hacks or shallow virality. It’s about understanding the core mechanics of how to make your ideas stick, how to resonate deeply with your audience, and how to scale a brand that commands the room.
**The Agenda & What You'll Learn:** Two expert angles, one goal: Make sure you never blend into the background again.
**17:45:** Arrive, grab a drink, and connect.
**18:10 – 18:15: Event Kickoff & Intro.** Setting the stage for a night of high-impact learning.
**18:15 – 18:30: How to be a Memorable Presenter (by Alex MacIntosh).** Ever wonder why some talks echo in your mind for days, while others fade before the speaker even leaves the stage? In this hyper-focused session, Alex breaks down the exact anatomy of "sticky ideas" and how to weaponize them in your presentations. You’ll discover the psychological hooks that guarantee your audience leans in, pays attention, and actually acts on your core message. Walk away with an actionable framework to ensure your next pitch is unforgettable.
**18:30 – 18:45: How to Build a Memorable Online Presence (by Chris Parker).** "Build it and they will come" is a lie in today's crowded digital landscape. Chris Parker-entrepreneur, Kajabi expert, and digital growth strategist-will reveal how to cut through the noise and scale a premium digital brand. He'll share his proven approach to identifying the bottlenecks holding your business back and how to deeply tune into your brand to create massive growth. You'll learn how to position your expertise so you can work smarter, not harder, and transform quiet followers into high-paying clients.
**18:50 – 20:00:** Genuine networking & conversations with quality food and drinks.
**20:00 onwards:** We are heading to a nearby bar. We expect the conversation to go late.
**Who Is This For?** This is for freelancers, digital nomads, and founders in Budapest who want to disaster-proof their work and amplify their impact. Join a community of curious, open-minded people for an honest conversation. No corporate fluff, just genuine connections and actionable takeaways on how to stand out.
**Location:** We'll be hosting at the fantastic KLUSTER Coworking space.
**The Legal Bit:** During the event, we'll be taking some photos. By attending, you consent to this.
Thanks for reading, see you on the 10th!

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: THE CHRISTOPHERS vs NORMAL at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event:
THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s
NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime. Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised (GFC website preferred)! Please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtimes and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
City Lights (1931)
In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need.
Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture.
*City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.
All Fem Board Game Night
Join us for a night of board gaming with FANG (Fem All Night Gaming). **We are an all fem board game group** in Columbus, Ohio.
No cis-men, please!
We play modern hobby board games! If you're unsure what that is, we can teach you!
We'll be meeting on the second floor of Giant Eagle in their cafe area. Giant Eagle has a lot of food and beverage options including their hot foods bars. You are also welcome to bring in any outside food.
