If you enjoy discussing movies and meeting new international friends, you’re very welcome to join our Pignetismi Cinema Club *(Scroll for english)* Il 28 aprile ci incontriamo per una serata dedicata a ***Oldboy*** (2003), un film intenso e disturbante che mescola vendetta, mistero e identità. Un nuovo appuntamento di Pignetismi dedicato al cinema, alla condivisione e alle connessioni che restano. Questa volta commenteremo e analizzeremo insieme *Oldboy*, il celebre film di Park Chan-wook: la storia di un uomo che, senza sapere perché, viene imprigionato per anni e poi improvvisamente liberato. Da quel momento inizia una ricerca ossessiva della verità e della vendetta, che lo porterà a confrontarsi con segreti profondi, memoria e conseguenze inaspettate. Un racconto potente e spiazzante che esplora il lato oscuro delle relazioni umane e si costruisce intorno a una domanda inquietante: quanto possiamo davvero conoscere noi stessi e gli altri? **💬 Cosa faremo?** ✨ Discussione aperta (anche se non sei un esperto di cinema!) ✨ Giochi e conversazione guidata ✨ Spunti su identità, memoria, vendetta e destino **ATTENZIONE: non verrà proiettato il film (puoi vederlo sulle piattaforme o se lo hai già visto in precedenza).** Non è necessario aver visto il film, ma è preferibile per godersi al meglio la serata. L’evento sarà guidato, ma in modo informale e accessibile, in un clima internazionale: non serve avere competenze tecniche, solo voglia di confrontarsi. 🗓 Martedì 28 aprile 2026 ⏰ 19:30 – 21:30 (puntuali) 📍 Eclipse Pigneto - Vai Braccio da Montone 103 **🍹 Aperitivo** **La consumazione è obbligatoria (non inclusa nel ticket).** **Sarà disponibile un aperitivo a buffet al costo di 10€ (drink + cibo), da pagare direttamente alla location che ci ospita.** 🌿 Perché partecipare? Perché *Oldboy* non è solo un film di vendetta. È un viaggio nella psiche umana, nelle scelte e nelle loro conseguenze. Un’occasione per parlarne insieme, conoscere nuove persone e guardare il cinema in modo più profondo. **🎟 Posti limitati** **Ti aspettiamo per una serata di cinema, emozioni e confronto.** [Se vuoi sapere di più su Pignetismi seguici su Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/") [Leggi la nostra newsletter](https://pignetismi.substack.com/ "https://pignetismi.substack.com/") Puoi entrare nella community su WhatsApp dopo aver partecipato agli eventi **ENGLISH VERSION** 🎬 Pignetismi Cinema Club – *Oldboy* (2003) 🗓 Tuesday April 28, 2026 ⏰ 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM A new Pignetismi gathering dedicated to cinema, connection, and the stories that stay with us. This time we’ll explore and discuss *Oldboy*, the iconic film by Park Chan-wook: the story of a man who is mysteriously imprisoned for years and suddenly released, only to begin an obsessive search for the truth and for revenge. A dark and gripping journey into memory, identity, and the consequences of past actions — built around a disturbing question: how well can we ever truly know ourselves and others? 💬 What to expect ✨ Open discussion (no film expertise needed!) ✨ Guided games and conversation ✨ Reflections on identity, memory, revenge, and fate **ATTENTION: the film will not be screened (you can watch it on streaming platforms or if you’ve already seen it).** Watching the film beforehand is not required, but recommended. The event will be guided in an informal and welcoming way, within an international environment. You don’t need to be a film expert — just curious and open to discussion. 📍 Location: Eclipse Pigneto **🍹 Aperitivo** **Consumption is mandatory (not included in the ticket).** **A buffet aperitivo will be available for €10 (drink + food), to be paid directly at the venue.** 🌿 Why join? Because *Oldboy* is more than a revenge story. It’s a deep exploration of human psychology and consequences. An evening to reflect, share perspectives, and meet new people through cinema. **🎟 Limited spots** [Follow Pignetismi on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/") [Read our newsletter](https://pignetismi.substack.com/ "https://pignetismi.substack.com/") You can join the WhatsApp Community after attending the events See you soon!

Dopo aver esplorato il parco (e magari **visitato gratuitamente il Casino Nobile, Casina delle civette o la Serra Moresca, visto che è la prima domenica del mese**), ci sposteremo a piedi nel vicino **Quartiere Coppedè**, uno dei luoghi più fiabeschi e fotografati di Roma.

Ti è mai capitato di sentirti “in un limbo”, come se la vita fosse sospesa tra ciò che sogni e ciò che chiami “reale”? In questo piccolo cerchio al Laghetto EUR partiremo da alcune domande semplici ma radicali: e se ciò che chiami realtà fosse un sogno? Cosa accade quando ti “risvegli” dentro il sogno che prima chiamavi realtà? Cosa succede quando ti senti lontanə dal qui e ora, come se la luce, la pace o il “tuo posto nel mondo” fossero sempre da un’altra parte? Useremo queste domande come filo conduttore per parlare di identità, paura, cambiamento, libertà e appartenenza. Non servono competenze filosofiche o psicologiche: è uno spazio informale dove ognuno può condividere pensieri, esperienze personali o semplicemente ascoltare, senza obbligo di intervenire. L’obiettivo è ascoltare più in profondità ciò che sentiamo veramente e vedere come questo può aiutarci a creare una realtà più consapevole, nel quotidiano. Porta solo te stessə, qualcosa per sederti sull’erba e la disponibilità ad ascoltare e parlare con rispetto. La partecipazione è gratuita, con possibilità di lasciare un piccolo contributo libero se l’incontro ti sarà stato utile. L’incontro si svolge sia in italiano che in inglese, per lasciare spazio a chiunque voglia partecipare. È gradito lo spirito di gruppo e l’attenzione nel parlare in modo che tuttə possano comprendere e sentirsi a proprio agio. ENG: Have you ever felt in “a limbo”, as if your life were suspended between what you dream and what you call “real”? In this small circle by the EUR lake, we will start from a few simple but radical questions: what if what you call reality was a dream? What happens when you “wake up” inside the dream you used to call reality? What happens when you feel far from the here and now, as if light, peace, or your “place in the world” were always somewhere else? We will use these questions as a thread to talk about identity, fear, change, freedom and belonging. You do not need any philosophical or psychological background: this is an informal space where everyone can share personal thoughts and experiences, or simply listen, with no obligation to speak. The aim is to listen more deeply to what we truly feel and see how this can help us create a more conscious reality in everyday life. Just bring yourself, something to sit on the grass, and a willingness to listen and speak with respect. Participation is free, with the possibility to leave a small voluntary contribution if you find the meeting valuable. The gathering will take place in both Italian and English, so that anyone who wishes to join can feel welcome. We kindly ask everyone to keep a group spirit and speak in a way that helps all participants understand and feel comfortable.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
