Filmonik Melbourne is an open filmmaking group with monthly open-screen screenings like an open-mic for films. Meet at Eclipse on Tuesday June 30th for our 129th screening and it's our proven mix of immediate, spontaneous, crafty, fun, inventive and weird short films. You should expect comedies, a bit of drama, animation maybe, there's generally one suspense/thriller, one music video, some fun trash, horror or documentary but sometimes we don't even know what will be playing. Films are generally under 5 minutes to keep things fresh and fun, followed by a quick QA with the director to hear about the process. Enjoy the networking, meet the artisans, recruit for your next short film, hang out, **DETAILS:** Admission $13+fees = $13.83. Tickets at [Filmonik #129 Open-Screen Short Films](https://events.humanitix.com/filmonik-129-open-screen-short-films) Tickets at the door if still available ($15 cash exact change, or Square) FILMS UNRATED (18+ by default). Content may offend. TUESDAY JUNE 30 at Eclipse Cinema 32 Wellington Street, Collingwood. This is an accessible venue, DDA-compliant. 6pm start. Please arrive in advance so we can start at 6:15pm at the latest. Eclipse is Licensed to serve a range of quality wines & craft beers and has homemade Choc Tops, popcorn or sweets. **FILMMAKERS:** Our open-screen get pretty popular these days so the best practice is submitting in advance at filmonik.com.au/submit-your-film or info@filmonik.com.au so we can reserve you a spot in the program. Films under 5-minutes get close-to-automatic entry, and anything over may get held up until there's a quiet month. A quick QA with the host follows each film. Organize your own premiere with us or run a cheeky pre-premiere of your festival film. Guidelines here: filmonik.com.au/how-to-screen. Filmonik is part of the worldwide Kino movement active in 30+ cities around the world since 1999.

​Once a month, we gather to explore ourselves, our relationships, and the stories we carry through psychodrama, sociometry, and group experience. ​ 每个月一次，我们聚在一起，透过心理剧、社会计量，通过团体来探索自己、探索关系。 ​​ Sometimes we explore important relationships—those we are living with now, those we have lost, and those that continue to shape us. Sometimes we begin with a seemingly ordinary moment or a surreal image and discover how deeply it connects to our lives. ​ 有时，我们会谈到复杂的人家关系；那些正在经历的，已经过去的； 有时，我们会谈到选择、改变与成长。 有时，我们会从一个微不足道的瞬间出发，去寻找它与我们生命的相连。 ​​ Whether you are interested in personal growth, understanding yourself more deeply, exploring relationships, or simply meeting people who are willing to engage in genuine conversation, there is a place for you here. ​ 无论你希望探索一些内心更深层的东西，还是单纯想认识一些愿意真诚交流的人，这里都为你留有一个位置。 ​ ​No Performance, No psychology background or psychodrama experience is required. ​ 你不需要表演，不需要有心理学背景，也不需要有心理剧经验。 ​ ​We simply invite you to step out of the busyness of everyday life, spend some time with yourself, connect with others, and see life from a different perspective. ​ ​我们只是邀请你，在忙碌的生活之外，留一点时间给自己，给自己一个从不同角度看待自己，看待生活的机会。 ​ This is a free community event, generously supported by Psychodrama Australia. Registration is a must ​https://www.chewellbeing.com/melbourne-offline 免费体验 \| 请填写报名表或直接与客服报名 （微信 CHEWELLBEING1\)。谢绝任何Walk\-in https://www.chewellbeing.com/melbourne-offline

Come and join our friendly group of horror fans as we talk about horror books and movies. You don't need to read or watch everything to come and participate! I kindly ask that everyone purchases dinner and/or a drink to cover the room hire costs. If you're new, we meet in the function rooms on the left hand side of the dining area. The books and film for this meetup are: **Contemporary Book** This'll make things a little easier by Attila Veres **Classic Book** Weird Sisters: Tales from the Queens of the Pulp Er**a** **Film** Se7en

These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines: Completely Mechanical (CM) - A 13-week series Completely Exposed (CE) - A 26-week series Completely Composed (CC) - A 52-week series All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows: Q3/26 - CM (Iter 1), CE (Iter 1, Pt 1), CC (Iter 1, Pt1) Q4/26 - CM (Iter 2), CE (Iter 1, Pt 2), CC (Iter 1, Pt2) Q1/27 - CM (Iter 3), CE (Iter 2, Pt 1), CC (Iter 1, Pt3) Q2/27 - CM (Iter 4), CE (Iter 2, Pt 2), CC (Iter 1, Pt4) That's likely confusing, but essentially, CM offered 4 times in that period, CE offered 2 times, and CC offered 1 time. **TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.** This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity. The group will meet every Tuesday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data is coming and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.

This will be our regular monthly meeting, with a new topic picked each month. Topics to be determined and posted soon.
