Αυτή την Κυριακή βλέπουμε μια από τις πιο όμορφες εκπλήξεις του φετινού σινεμά: **«Η τούρτα του Προέδρου»** του Χασάν Χάντι. Ιράκ, 1990. Μια εννιάχρονη μαθήτρια επιλέγεται από το σχολείο της για μια… “τιμητική” αποστολή: να φτιάξει την τούρτα γενεθλίων για τον ίδιο τον Σαντάμ Χουσεΐν. Μόνο που υπάρχει ένα μικρό πρόβλημα: στη χώρα λείπουν ακόμη και τα πιο βασικά υλικά. Και έτσι ξεκινά μια μικρή οδύσσεια μέσα στην πόλη — γεμάτη απρόσμενες συναντήσεις, χιούμορ, συγκίνηση και εκείνη την τρυφερή ανθρωπιά που θυμίζει το καλύτερο ιρανικό σινεμά. Μια ιστορία απλή αλλά βαθιά συγκινητική, όπου η παιδική αθωότητα γίνεται μια μικρή πράξη αντίστασης απέναντι σε έναν σκληρό κόσμο. 🏆 **Χρυσή Κάμερα – Φεστιβάλ Καννών 2025** 🏆 **Βραβείο Κοινού – Δεκαπενθήμερο Σκηνοθετών (Cannes)** 🏆 **Βραβείο Κοινού – Νύχτες Πρεμιέρας** ✨ Από εκείνες τις ταινίες που σε κάνουν να χαμογελάς, να συγκινείσαι και μετά να θέλεις να την συζητήσεις. 🍷 Μετά την προβολή, συνεχίζουμε με ποτό και κουβέντα. **Κυριακή \| 19:45** Μπορείτε να κλείσετε τα εισιτήρια σας εδώ : https://www.more.com/gr-el/tickets/cinema/presidents-cake-cinobo-opera/?evId=885644 Έλα στην παρέα — οι καλύτερες ταινίες βλέπονται μαζί. ‼️**Παρακαλούμε θερμά:** Αν δηλώσεις συμμετοχή και τελικά δεν μπορείς να έρθεις, **φρόντισε να ακυρώσεις εγκαίρως** — μας βοηθά πολύ στον καλύτερο συντονισμό και την οργάνωση της βραδιάς. Συνήθως έρχομαι αργοπορημένη στα events που διοργανώνω!!! οπότε μπείτε , καθίστε και θα συναντηθούμε στο τέλος της προβολής στο ταμείο του κινηματογράφου!!

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. 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: 11:00 - quick intros. 11:15 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 12:15 - (the end) chat / take off / keep writing / socialising. 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. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at To Theatron! What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Ideally come with your laptop fully charged in case there are not enough plugs for everyone. Other Important Details: -Theatron is close to the newly-opened metro station Dimotiko Theatro. The tram also stops right outside, and there are several bus stops nearby. -There is a parking service nearby on Kountouriotou 137 if you are unable to find a parking space. -Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

# **Band and caller TBA** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Kevin Rhodus from Lucy Deep Park Northside is coming to talk to us about his extensive neighborhood Christmas light display that is open in November and December every year north of Dublin. 9 houses over 12 acres and over 120,000 individual controlled lights that sync to music which you can tune into on your radio! Quite impressive! https://ldplights.com/ We'll dive into the tech that runs the show -- should be a blast to hear about this very elaborate display! While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Dublin Library in the Meeting Room 2

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
