If you're interested in meeting up occasionally to see a film, mostly independent and sometimes not, and also meet some cool people, then this is the meetup for you. We usually stick to theaters around Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Redwood City. We also meet for coffee or dinner, before or after depending on the movie time. Please check out our "About" page to learn more about the group. Hope to see you soon! Stefan

This group is to bring together kindred souls interested in learning about and meeting people from different parts of the world while doing activities around the bay area that differ from just the ordinary Bar/club scene. There might always be the occasional happy hr, but our avenues will also be range from food, books, music, movies, museums, or Lectures, and all the while, stimulating conversation. The goal is expanding knowledge of the beautiful area we live in, as well as possibly thru cultu …

We will meet once a month. Meetups can be set up for anything related to our common love of movies. For instance, we may meetup to have an informal discussion on some of the great movie classics.

Enjoy film? Like discussions that move beyond likes and dislikes and explore the ways character and circumstance in film reveal true aspects of life and the ways humans relate deeply (or don't)? In this group we'll meet at the Landmark Theater in Berkeley for matinees on some Saturdays--September through November, view artful films, and then stroll to a local cafe' for discussion and coffee/tea for about an hour. Join for one, Saturday a few, or all four. Potential for movie and dinner as a fun …

Blockbusters? Indie? Cult? You can get those anywhere. This is the group for movies so bad they're good. The weird, the bizarre, the horrible acting, the ridiculous concepts, the non-work-safe hilarity. Most people are just uncomfortable watching them, but for whatever reason they tickle the suitably twisted sense of humor. Would you watch a movie called Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, because a movie with that title must be awesome?  Does your list of cinematic classics include things like Barbare …

Are you curious about and interested in environmentalism on the planetary scale? We want to understand the Earth's ecological systems -- from a non-technical perspective -- and the crises they are now undergoing.  We include climate change, species extinction, resource depletion, economic collapse, the collapse of civilizations, and the end of industrial society in our discussions.  We want to learn how we can live with global crises and support one another through the worst of times ahead since …

If you’re like me, you are a single/divorced/or widowed, professional 40+ woman who works 40+ hours during the week and has little time (or energy for that matter) to develop friendships with other woman. I try to plan outings on the weekends – shopping, movies, hikes, festivals, Sunday coffee etc., and while I enjoy my own company it would be nice to share the experience(s) with a friend or two. So, I thought that creating “Weekend Friends” would be a great idea for women like me living in the …

Now that Fremont has a movie theater at the Pacific Commons, it is time for us to have our own movie meetup. There is plenty of parking at the Pacific Commons Cinemark. This meetup group will have movies and other activities around the East bay to enjoy. This is for for people who are responsible, positive and not flaky.

We will meet in the Berkeley Area every two weeks to critique scripts, generally 5-7 pages depending on attendees.

We are a community of performers, models,  producers, directors, production professionals, make up artists, and film goers. We meet regularly to collaborate on producing films and other projects. We also watch films and critique them.  We also have events of interest to people interested in still photography. We will share our knowledge and skills with one another. We will support each other in achieving our aspirations and realizing our dreams. Most of our events are free and open to all.

This is a 2-pronged activity group for the more mature (ahem! 45+ members) that I want to create, and the two planned activities may or may not intersect: (1) a monthly dining group that will try out various restaurants in our very diverse Bay Area (taking a cue from restaurants featured on CHECK PLEASE, BAY AREA); and (2) a movie/video group that can go to quality films on (a) a matinee basis and (b) eventually screen videos at home of past classics mingled with a potluck dinner. Geographically …

I couldn't find a group for slash fans in the area, so I started one! If you like the female-friendly fandom spaces of LJ, AO3, DW, tumblr, are excited for Yuletide, etc, please join up! I'm hoping to have some low key cafe and restaurant meetups, as well as movie meetups and tv nights if people are interested. Also of interest: some people have kindly told me about the San Francisco Bay Area Slashers (SFBAS) yahoo group. They have meetings at rotating locations in the Bay Area every other month …

Hi all. I'm starting this group for all the movie goers specially for the east bay. Century 25 at Union City is the best place to start with. Each week i will choose one movie we can go to. All the members are welcome for suggestions.

Beautiful, inspiring, thoughtful, provoking, insightful, quirky... just some of the words that describe our members; the films are pretty good too. It's back! (like a bad penny). The East Bay Indy/Foreign/Doc film group returns! Do you love really cool under the radar films? Maybe they don't make the billboards or the commercials; you hear about them from a friend or maybe on Fresh Air or you manage to see a preview when attending another gem. Frankly everyone I love big noisy films as much as a …

If so, join this kick-ass Meetup group, and let's enjoy some live music and other fun activities! I'm a huge fan of concerts and other live performances, especially in the Summer time, and hope to meet other folks who enjoy live shows as much as I do. Let's get together and see some shows.

Join us on a fun film project! Its a party we serve free food and drinks at every meet up! Our way of saying thanks for your interest in our project. As a response to challenged books listed in the Huffington Post, like Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, along with Twilight, Captain Underpants, Harry Potter and many others, we have decided to produce a documentary/drama on HD video to address banned books in U.S. This film project will demonstrate how books become challenged and eventually banned …
