Hi, all Independent Movie Lovers. You are invited meet at 7 pm, on Friday the 20th of February. This meeting is at the Café on the ground floor of the Light House Cinema, Smithfield Square, Dublin. We will discuss the film: **My Father's Shadow** (2025), directed by Akinola Davies. My Father's Shadow is set in 1993, and examines a family's struggles in Lagos. We will also discuss: **Apocalypse Now** (1979), directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Several versions are in circulation. It seems the Apple TV and Sky Store are showing the 147 minute cut that was essentially the original theatrical release. I think Coppola's 2019 'Final Cut' is available for rental from YouTube, and this would be the preferred cut for discussion. We will watch the movies independently, and meet for discussion on Friday the 20th of February, at 7 pm, at the Café on the ground floor of the Light House Cinema, Smithfield Square. **My Father's Shadow** is showing at some Dublin cinemas, including Cineworld in Parnell St, the Light House Cinema at Smithfield, and the IFI, Eustace St, until Thursday the 12th of February. **Apocalypse Now**, the 'final cut' is available for online rental on YouTube. Other versions are available for rental from Apple TV and Sky Store. Michael Sheeran

It’s a New Year and January has already given way to February. Many of us at TOG are keen vegetable growers and we’re now looking forward to spring and the growing season ahead. The harvest last year was super, so let’s hope for a repeat. Join us at TOG for a free seed and plant swap from 3 PM. We'll be planting lots of seeds on the day and hopefully no one will go away empty handed. We have lots of pots and we'll have a bag of potting compost too. If you have anything surplus that you'd like to share, why not bring it along.... seeds? plants? cuttings? We'd love to hear your own stories of what you like to plant in your own garden or space. Tell your friends and family about the event. If you're involved with any community gardens, then definitely tell them also. The kettle will be on all day with plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits. From 7PM that same day, it’s our regular monthly Open Social event which you are welcome to join also. There’ll be pizza and plenty of chat and craic as usual. TOG is a non-profit space run by unpaid volunteers. Donations are always welcome.

Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside! [https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc](https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc) Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!

Due to an increase of the meetup app costs, it will be appreciated any donation at this link: revolut.me/manuelo38g Are looking for friends? Do you wanna have fun in Dublin? Do you want to chit chat and relax? ... Here you are, this is where to join on Saturday night. We have not a usual location where to meet, we like to go in all the pubs and clubs in town... So, stay tuned for the location. At the end, we also plan the after meetup location where to enjoy the rest of the night. See you all soon.

Join us every Sunday and tell a story as a group by playing a beginner-friendly roleplaying game. Every week we have 2-3 different games. All materials provided and rules are explained at the start of each game, you just need to bring your imagination. 🎭 **This week's facilitators:** * 🚀 **Filip** running *Coriolis - The Third Horizon*, a space opera game steeped in Middle-Eastern inspired aesthetics, culture, and mysticism. You have been hired by the Baroness Hungry Reason to attend a Mourner's Auction on Eventide Needle and obtain a fragment of a dead mathematician's memories: "The First Rain". Expect mystical intrigue with exploration and negotiation at the forefront - combat is possible but not required. * 🧑‍⚖️ **Emil** with another case for the *Eldritch Defenders*, a rules-light game of investigation and moral argument where you play lawyers defending fantastical creatures. This week, a ghost bound to a crumbling building in Hell's Kitchen is preventing a redevelopment operation by the landlord. The firm will try to defend the ghost's rights and help uncover the reason why the landlord is so desperate to move on and erase the building's history. * 🧑‍🚀 **Wojtek** guiding a starship crew through an abandoned colony in the sci-fi survival horror scenario, *Mothership: Another Bug Hunt*. The colonists on Samsa-VI have lost contact with the Company. But they've gained contact with something else. The players' crew must re-establish communications with a remote terraforming colony. However, when they arrive they find an abandoned colony and the remains of a bloody assault... *** Feel free to ask the organisers any questions you have (here or on our [Discord server](https://tinyurl.com/indie-rpgs-dublin)).
