Hi everyone!! I’m excited to organize a photowalk session — this time starting from Brera and walking towards Parco Sempione. We’ll begin in the small streets of Brera, focusing on details, textures, and everyday scenes, then move towards the park to explore light, shadows, and more open compositions during golden hour. The idea is simple: walk together, take photos, share ideas, and enjoy the process in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We will share a few tips along the way on composition, light, and how to approach different scenes. At the end, we can also have a short optional moment to look at some photos and exchange feedback. If you enjoy photography and exploring Milan creatively, you’re very welcome to join! Details • Start: Brera (exact meeting point shared after RSVP) • End: Parco Sempione • ⏰ Duration: ~1.5–2 hours • 🎯 Level: beginner friendly • 🎒 Bring: camera or smartphone + comfortable shoes

Picture this: a relaxed, sun-filled lunch in Parco Sempione, surrounded by greenery, soft blankets, and that effortless, slightly chic picnic vibe we all secretly love. There’s good wine (of course), fresh non-alcoholic drinks if that’s your thing, and a spread of finger food you can just pick at while chatting, laughing, and slowly getting comfortable. Nothing rushed, nothing too structured—just a really nice moment to pause and enjoy. And because everyone’s there for the same reason, there will be a few light, fun activities woven in naturally, the kind that make it easy to start conversations and actually get to know the other girls without it feeling awkward or forced. It’s basically that perfect kind of afternoon where you show up not knowing anyone… and leave feeling like you’ve just expanded your circle in the most effortless way. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

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.

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. If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
