Peak Oil

### **ITA** ### **Kino Movement Milano** in collaborazione con il Centro Culturale **Slow Mill** organizza il quarto Kino Kabaret di Milano. ### **MOVIMENTO “KINO”** Kino è un movimento cinematografico internazionale, consistente nel fare film senza budget, in uno spirito di mutuo aiuto, non concorrenza, libertà e benevolenza. Il suo motto è: “Fai bene con niente, fai meglio con poco, ma fallo ora”. Questo movimento è iniziato a Montreal, Quebec (Canada) nel febbraio 1999 con Kino Montreal e ora conta circa 100 cellule attive in tutto il mondo. I partecipanti – che sono chiamati i Kinoïtes (i Kinetici) – si incontrano in due tipi di eventi, gli Screenings mensili e i Kino Kabarets, per realizzare cortometraggi in un arco di tempo limitato, che va da 24, 48 ore a pochi giorni. Aperti sia ai professionisti che ai dilettanti, questi eventi sono spazi di creazione, senza censure o concorrenza, che consentono sia ai dilettanti di migliorarsi, sia ai professionisti di approfondire la propria ricerca artistica. Ipartecipanti al **Kino Kabaret di Milano** quindi, cineasti e attori, si riuniranno per realizzare cortometraggi in 48 ore. Questi film saranno poi presentati direttamente al pubblico alla fine dello scadere del tempo a disposizione. Per maggiori informazioni leggere i **[Principi ufficiali dei gruppi che affermano di appartenere al movimento Kino](https://www.slowmill.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Principi-ufficiali-Kino-Kabaret.pdf)**. ### **Programma del weekend:** **Ritrovo: 13 marzo ore 18.00** I cineasti e le cineaste (regia, direzione della fotografia, montaggio, sceneggiatura, suono, trucco, scenografia, musiche) e gli attori e le attrici si ritroveranno il 13 marzo alle ore 18.00 per registrarsi all’evento e avere i dettagli sui cortometraggi da girare. Possono essere squadre già formate oppure squadre estemporanee che si incontrano al ritrovo e decidono di collaborare insieme. E’ necessario che chiunque abbia la propria attrezzatura. I film possono venire realizzati con qualsiasi camera capace di realizzare video in Full HD, smartphone compresi. **Consegna lavori: 15 marzo ore 19.00** I cortometraggi, della durata massima di 5 minuti (tassativi), dovranno essere consegnati nella loro forma completa al responsabile di Kino, entro l’orario stabilito, il quale provvederà a confermare l’avvenuta ricezione e l’inserimento nella scaletta di proiezione. **Proiezione finale: 15 marzo ore 21.00** La proiezione dei cortometraggi avverrà alla presenza di tutte le squadre e di un pubblico di interessati. Seguirà successivamente un dibattito libero tra i Kinetici e il pubblico per poter adempiere allo spirito di Kino: è attraverso la collaborazione tra i suoi membri che Kino trova il suo vero scopo: motivare, imparare e ispirare. Il responsabile del Kino Movement Milano, **Mateo Çili**, autore cinematografico, attore, regista e insegnante di recitazione, sarà a disposizione durante tutto il periodo delle 48 ore per poter aiutare i gruppi a realizzare al meglio i propri film. Gli spazi del centro culturale Slow Mill saranno disponibili come base per chiunque necessitasse di avere un appoggio per lasciare le attrezzature, mettere in carica le batterie, realizzare il montaggio, ecc… oppure semplicemente per rifocillarsi. Per potersi candidare come singoli o come squadra, scrivere una mail a **info@slowmill.it** elencando i membri della squadra e le mansioni, oppure, in caso di singoli, comunicando il ruolo che si intende esercitare. **ENG** ### **Kino Movement Milan** in collaboration with the **Slow Mill** Cultural Center presents the fourth Kino Kabaret of Milan. **“KINO” MOVEMENT** Kino is an international film movement based on making films with no budget, in a spirit of mutual support, non-competition, freedom, and goodwill. Its motto is: *“Do well with nothing, do better with little, but do it now.”* This movement began in Montreal, Quebec (Canada) in February 1999 with Kino Montreal, and now includes around 100 active cells worldwide. Participants – called Kinoïtes (the Kinetics) – meet during two types of events: monthly Screenings and Kino Kabarets, to create short films within a limited time frame, ranging from 24 to 48 hours, or a few days. Open to both professionals and amateurs, these events are creative spaces without censorship or competition, allowing amateurs to improve and professionals to deepen their artistic exploration. At the Milan Kino Kabaret, filmmakers and actors will gather to make short films in 48 hours. These films will then be shown directly to the public at the end of the time limit. For more information, read the official Principles of the groups claiming to be part of the Kino movement. *** **Weekend Schedule:** **Meeting: March 13th at 6:00 PM** Filmmakers (directing, cinematography, editing, screenwriting, sound, makeup, set design, music) and actors will meet on March 13th at 6:00 PM to register for the event and get the details about the short films to be made. Teams can be pre-formed or spontaneously assembled on site. Everyone must bring their own equipment. Films can be made with any camera capable of recording Full HD video, including smartphones. **Submission: March 15th at 7:00 PM** The short films, with a *strict* maximum length of 5 minutes, must be submitted in their final form to the Kino coordinator by the set time. The coordinator will confirm receipt and inclusion in the screening schedule. **Final Screening: March 15th at 9:00 PM** The screening will take place in the presence of all the teams and an interested audience. A free discussion between the Kinetics and the public will follow, in line with the spirit of Kino: through collaboration among its members, Kino fulfills its true purpose—to motivate, learn, and inspire. The coordinator of Kino Movement Milan, Mateo Çili, filmmaker, actor, and acting teacher, will be available throughout the 72 hours to assist teams in making the best films possible. The Slow Mill cultural center spaces will be available as a base for anyone needing a place to store equipment, charge batteries, edit footage, etc., or simply to grab a bite and relax. To apply as an individual or as a team, send an email to **info@slowmill.it**, listing team members and their roles, or—if applying individually—specify the role you’d like to take on.

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

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!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.” MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a head’s up, this is a longer movie at 2hrs 36mins. DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event. An RSVP here means you're signed up for the MOVIE! This portion will be open as long as seats remain. If you also plan to join for dinner, please also RSVP in the separate event listing for the dinner portion of this event. Should be a good one, Dan

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
