What we’re about

We're on a mission to bring together film enthusiasts and creative minds to explore extraordinary, surreal, and inspiring cinema. But we don't stop at just watching – we use these cinematic experiences as a launchpad for our own creativity. Dive into the world of avant-garde films with us and unleash your artistic potential!

# Who We're Looking For

Our club is perfect for curious souls who:

Embrace unconventional and challenging films

Love sharing thoughts and interpretations with others

Enjoy expressing themselves creatively – whether through writing, drawing, philosophizing, or other art forms (code? performance?)

Are eager to discover new perspectives and expand their creative horizons

Whether you're a seasoned cinephile or new to experimental cinema, you're welcome here!

# What Happens at Our Events?

Our meetups are an exciting two-part adventure:

Film Screening: We'll watch a carefully selected film from our cabinet of curiosities. Our program includes works like Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain," Tarkovsky's "Stalker," and Gilliam's "Brazil."

Creative Explosion: After the film, we let our imaginations run wild. Depending on the mood and inspiration, you are invited to:

Write short stories or poems inspired by the film

Sketch or draw scenes or themes from the movie

Dive into philosophical discussions about the film's meaning and symbolism

Explore performance art or other creative expressions

or just hang around and enjoy the mood.

Join us to be enchanted by cinematic curiosities and discover your creative potential in an open and inspiring atmosphere!
