Kes (1969)
**Directed by [Ken Loach](https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/p/ken-loach/).** Named by the British Film Institute as one of the ten best British films of the century.
**Please RSVP on Meetup if you plan to attend! Buy your ticket in advance at the link below. We'll meet at the entrance to the movie theater at 18:00. The screening begins at 18:30.**
*Ken Loachâs Kes, is cinemaâs quintessential portrait of working-class Northern England. Billy (an astonishingly naturalistic David Bradley) is a fifteen-year-old minerâs son whose close bond with a wild kestrel provides him with a spiritual escape from his dead-end life. Kes brought to the big screen the sociopolitical engagement Loach had established in his work for the BBC, and pushed the British âangry young manâ film of the sixties into a new realm of authenticity, using real locations and nonprofessional actors. Loachâs poignant coming-of-age drama remains the now legendary directorâs most beloved and influential film.*
*Source: [The Criterion Collection](https://www.criterion.com/films/27560-kes)*
**Please [buy your ticket online in advance](https://filmpodium.ch/film/172549/kes) to secure your spot. Seats cannot be reserved online, so we will coordinate seating arrangements at the theater before the screening. It's important to arrive early to pick up your tickets, so please be at Xenix by 18:15 at the latest. After the movie, we'll gather in the lobby for a beverage and discussion of the film.**

Sip n Paint: Sunset Serenity
When the sky glows, the sea reflects the colors, and everything seems to stand still for a moment â ââwe'll capture this special atmosphere together in this Acrylic Marker Workshop. In 2.5 hours, you'll create your own atmospheric artwork in A4 format and immerse yourself in a world of vibrant colors and smooth transitions.
You'll begin by getting to know the acrylic markers: their properties, their opacity, and how to use them effectively. They combine the intensity of acrylic paint with the control of a pen â perfect for creating both broad color gradients and fine details.
In the workshop, I'll show you various techniques to help you create a beautiful evening sky: soft color gradients from warm orange to deep violet, the interplay of light and reflection in the water, and the use of contrasts for added depth. Step by step, your very own seascape will take shape.
You can use a template as a guide or follow your own vision. Perhaps your sea will be serene and minimalist â perhaps dramatic and intensely colorful. Anything is possible. That's precisely what makes each picture unique.
At the end of the workshop, you'll take your finished A4 artwork home with you. A picture that not only looks beautiful but is also a memento of a creative, relaxed evening. And above all: a piece you can be proud of.
Besides the painting itself, the atmosphere is paramount. Laughter, experimentation, and trying new things are all encouraged. Small "mistakes" are part of the process â and often become the most interesting details in the picture đ You'll enjoy a creative break from everyday life and can simply switch off.
This workshop is like a mini-vacation by the sea â only with a pen instead of a sun hat! Come along, enjoy the creative flow, and let your own sunset emerge.
Wutworkshop, finde neue Kraft und klare Grenzen
Hallo ihr Liebenđ
In diesem Workshop machen wir passend zum Weltfrauentag eine Reise zu deiner Wut. Viele Frauen haben gelernt die eigene Wut zu unterdrĂźcken und sich anzupassen. Angestaute Wut fĂźhrt zu chronischem Stress und EntzĂźndungen im KĂśrper.
Mit verschiedenen KĂśrperĂźbungen geben wir deiner Wut einen Raum und drĂźcken sie aus.
Du bist in einem sicheren Raum unter Frauen und darfst endlich wieder fĂźhlen und lang unterdrĂźckte Emotionen fliessen lassen.
Du nimmst neue emotionsregulations Tools mit nach Hause und kannst sie bei dir, bei deinen Kindern/Nächsten anwenden.
Du gewinnst neue Kraft und spĂźrst deine Grenzen.đ
