## East Meets West: Culture, Connection & Conversation
Hosted by **KISMETRIX \| True Connection**
📍 **Ruelle Wine Bar**
30 Chatham St, Prahran VIC 3181
📅 **Friday, 27 March**
🕖 **7:00 PM – 9:30 PM (Hosted)**
Guests are welcome to stay and enjoy the venue beyond 9:30 PM if they wish.
## A FRIDAY NIGHT FOR THOSE WHO VALUE DEPTH, CURIOSITY & REAL CONNECTION
This is a **much-requested Kismetrix experience** — and we’re excited to finally bring it to life.
**East Meets West: Culture, Connection & Conversation** is a refined Friday-night social designed for people who feel drawn to both **Asian and Western cultures** — through shared values, curiosity, and genuine human connection.
This event is **not just for Asians.**
It’s for **Asians and non-Asians alike** — anyone who appreciates Asian culture, is curious about it, or feels comfortable navigating between Eastern and Western worlds.
No labels.
No boxes.
Just people meeting **in real life** — with openness, curiosity, and respect.
## THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL DATING EVENT
No swiping.
No forced rotations.
No loud, chaotic party crowds.
Instead, this is a thoughtfully hosted social evening where:
• Conversation flows naturally
• Light conversation starters or optional activities may be introduced to help break the ice
• Connections form without pressure
• People show up as they are — not as who they think they should be
Whether you're open to **friendship, meaningful connection, romance, or simply a great conversation**, this night allows space for all of it.
## 💫 ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
Inspired by Asian values of **presence, respect, and depth** — blended with a modern Western social atmosphere — this evening creates a setting where cultures meet naturally.
Expect:
• A stylish, intimate wine-bar environment designed for conversation
• Light hosting early in the evening to set the tone
• Relaxed, free-flow mingling as the night unfolds
• Optional conversation prompts inspired by culture, stories, and shared values
The evening is thoughtfully hosted to create a **comfortable and welcoming atmosphere** for everyone attending.
## 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR
This event is for people who:
• Appreciate both Asian and Western cultures
• Value depth over surface-level interaction
• Enjoy meaningful conversation in relaxed social settings
• Are socially aware, open-minded, and culturally curious
• Want a Friday night that feels intentional and genuinely human
Come solo or with friends — **many do.**
## 🍸 THE VIBE
**Ruelle Wine Bar** offers an intimate, stylish backdrop perfect for connection.
Expect:
• A warm, moody cocktail-bar atmosphere
• A culturally curious and socially aware crowd
• Hosted support early in the evening, relaxed mingling later
• A night that feels less like a “dating event” and more like a beautifully curated Friday night
## 🎟 TICKETS & INCLUSIONS
Your ticket includes:
• Entry to the curated **Kismetrix \| True Connection** experience
• **One complimentary drink on arrival**
• Thoughtful hosting to support conversation and flow
• A welcoming social environment grounded in respect and inclusivity

• No scripts or rigid structures
• Thoughtful curation without pressure

Many guests come **“just for one drink”… and end up staying all night.**

Filmonik Kino-Kabaret 2026 — A 72-hour filmmaking challenge
The Filmonik Kino-Kabaret is our yearly all-you-can-film buffet of spontaneous creativity, where participants collaborate on as many short films as they can, in a shared production hub called the Kinolab, at Balam Balam Place in Brunswick. This 72+hour jam-session of filmmaking is followed by the premiere screening party of all short films that have been produced. It's fun, it's epic, it's chaotic, it's challenging, you meet heaps of new people and get attached on-the-spot to many productions just by hanging out in the hub. We're fiercely non-competitive so it's a celebration of films of all styles and scope, not a competition with creative restrictions. No teams set are to be set in advance, and writers and directors come to the Friday production meeting with a script ready to go or can improvise all weekend with the other participants. The magic should happen with the cast and crew participating and present in the hub. Short films can get written, shot and edited all in and around the hub. It's not a requirement but it's how you can learn more, challenge yourself, get help when you need it, and hop on anyone else's project to try something new.
**Check out the 2025 Kino-Kabaret recap video for the vibes and venue**

Speaking & Leadership - CONFIDENCE workshop
Smashing! Try something new Friday night
Interactive workshops - Become the charismatic leader
Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best**
Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs?
Just one member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and the commercial feel is lost. SmashSpeak's vibe is in the sweet spot."
**Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets
**IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts**
“Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, sharing the stage and greater good focus

Project Hail Mary Movie Meetup
Howdy I've had a few requests for this, I'll do another Yarraville Sun Meetup.
Meet at cinema to get tix 6pm then dinner at Grilld a few doors down then we'll watch film (exact times will drop later this week)
Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that's causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity -- but he may not have to do it alone.
Cheers
Justin

Connect with us on Discord for quick responses as there can be a multi day lag via Meetup messages: JOIN MAC DISCORD: [https://discord.gg/C3Ug63F](https://discord.gg/C3Ug63F)
❤**ANIME:** TBA
❤**DATE:** 29 MARCH 2026, SUNDAY
❤**TIME:** Meet at 3:00PM for 3:30PM START \*arrivals after 4.30pm must be pre-organised
❤**START PLACE:** THEATER ROOM (AKA PERFORMANCE SPACE) Docklands Library Main Building Top floor (Library at The Dock)
**THE PLAN:** Arrivals take place from 3:00pm for a 3:30pm start!! We encourage you to mingle before our announcements> ice breakers and games > watch party > raffles > close. We will then head to Melb Central for dinner and some quick games afterwards.
We encourage our members to support anime artists and producers by purchasing their movies or any full series should they wish to watch the endings.
**Some insight for newer members:**
It's a natural process to feel a little anxious attending a large event you have never experienced before. During sign ins our hosting team will naturally be busy however our meet & greet volunteers will do their best to say 'Hello' to everyone and perhaps connect you to others. If for some reason this does not happen (because it's really busy), don't fret! Our ice breaker games are designed to help everyone bond over a shared experience. You should expect adults having fun and letting lose whilst being challenged to push some comfort zones which we invite you to do as well! The games are suppose to be silly to help people come out of comfort zones and get to know someone new. We will then take a break to watch anime and we really do encourage you to stay for games after dinner which is when our team gets a breather and a good chance to get to know our newer members better in a quieter setting! We have witnessed many wonderful long term friendships formed at MAC amongst our members - We do hope you join us!
**THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS**
A big thank you to everyone who RSVPs - This money helps with the club's upkeep and hiring of the venue! We are completely NOT-FOR-PROFIT and we sincerely appreciate your contributions!! Raffle tickets will be available on the day to further support our MAC community!!

# FAQs
**Do all ideas have a chance at getting funded?**
Not all ideas will move forward after initial pitches on Saturday. Once pitches are complete, we’ll vote for top ideas and form teams around the 4 – 7 ideas with the most votes. You must recruit **at least four total team members** (including the founder) to move forward and have a chance at getting funded on Sunday. If your idea doesn’t move forward, you can join another team!
**Do I have to submit my idea online prior to the event?**
Unlike previous years, we don’t have the option to submit your idea online prior to the event. Instead, everyone will be going through a brainstorming exercise on Saturday that’ll help you prepare for your initial pitch.
**Will we be working for 24 hours straight?**
Nope. The event is split over two days. You’ll be building on Saturday and pitching on Sunday.
**Do I have to pitch an idea?**
Nope. You can also simply join a team.
**What types of entrepreneurs does GBH support?**
While GBH most often works with technology startups, we support *any* organization (for- or non-profit) that makes an impact on health in the US or across the world.
