Please read everything! Check this event again on the day (weather updates, last‑minute changes, etc.). And please be polite: cancel your RSVP if you cannot attend. _______________________________________________________ This is NOT a guided tour. I am going to have a look at the new exhibition! **Buy your ticket incl. timeslot (7pm) beforehand online!** Owners of the annual card or the bundesmuseencard: you will need to book a timeslot too. You ll find the number of your card in the email from your purchase of the annual card. [Link to book the ticket & timeslot.](https://shop.khm.at/en/tickets/canaletto-bellotto-200000000008445-T429-01) Tip: I added the audio guide for 5€ to my order. About the exhibition: "The famous city views of Giovanni Antonio Canal (better known as Canaletto) and his nephew Bernardo Bellotto (who often called himself Canaletto as well, to emphasize his connection to his celebrated uncle) take centre stage in the upcoming exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. With the help of optical devices, such as the camera obscura, these two Venetian painters surveyed European cities with scientific precision, yet creatively transformed what they saw into grand pictorial scenes. Both artists painted spectacular views of their hometown, Venice, but they both left the lagoon city to pursue their careers abroad: Canaletto moved to London, while Bellotto worked in Dresden and Vienna. Featuring major international loans – many of which have never before been exhibited in Austria – the exhibition invites you to rediscover the eighteenth-century city and two artists whose careers mirror a Europe shaped by mobility, war, and uncertainty." khm

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/)**.

Improv depends on group energy — commitment matters. \*\*\* Improv theatre is one of the best ways to step out of your comfort zone — while actually having fun. In this workshop we’ll focus on: * Storytelling techniques * Scene work * Playfulness and connection * Understanding how comedy works No experience needed. Just curiosity and willingness to try. \*\*\* ## Workshop Structure **First half:** Warm-up games and storytelling exercises to build energy, trust and spontaneity. **Second half:** Scene work. We’ll apply what we explored and create improvised moments together. It’s interactive. You’ll be on your feet. You’ll participate. \*\*\* ## Break & Sharing You’re welcome to bring food and drinks to share during the break. Let’s keep it relaxed and social. Improv works best when we connect not just on stage, but off stage. \*\*\* About talkin’ talkin' is an event series focusing on personal development and social adventures, hosted by amateurs and non-professionals. Every participant has the chance to lead their own talkin' event! We believe that the best way to grow as a person is to go out of your comfort zone, and have fun along the way. You don't think that's possible? Come and join us and see for yourself! The English speaking group invites internationals in Vienna, but also Austrians who enjoy speaking English.
