Cinema-Femina is a do-it-yourself meetup group that encourages it's members to scout out and see films made by and about women. It's all about watching movies, making friends, having lively discussions and, perhaps most importantly, it's about supporting the filmmakers themselves. Female filmmakers NEED US! They need us to buy tickets the FIRST WEEK their films hit the theaters. Those numbers will determine whether that filmmaker will ever get a distribution deal again. Sucks, huh? But here's th …

Meet other local Movie Fans! Get together once a month to plan movie outings and discuss the hot movies of the month.

Art House Astoria is a non-profit music and art conservatory here in Astoria. We offer all kinds of classes for kids and adults (for a fee), but we often host free or donation-only community events. Art House Astoria wants to be a place of creativity on all levels and strives to be an active part of the growing Astoria arts community. We look forward to meeting lots of new Astoria neighbors over the next few months.

We have been around for FOUR years, and 458 Meetup events - as of March 2013!!  Interesting folks have come and gone, but most are still here! This meetup group is now private, and our calendar (with all special venue listings) is only viewable by our members. You also need to have a photo of yourself (no dogs, cats, boats, monuments, etc.) attached to your profile. We no longer allow members without photos. Other than that, feel free to join! Edging in on fame!  LOL... Read our interview on …

Welcome to the NYC Grindhouse - the only group on Meetup.com that deals specifically with the Exploitation Film Genre. We'll be watching old classics such as Russ Meyers 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!' and Jack Hill's 'Coffy', the film that launched sexy Pam Grier into the spotlight, as well as new Grindies like Tarantino's 'Death Proof' and my recent favorite, 'MACHETE'! When summer comes, we'll take a few weekend road-trips to check out the few remaining DRIVE-INs in NY - the closest one is l …

Welcome to a Meetup Group exclusively dedicated to Asian Cinema. We will gather when recent and repertory films from Hong Kong, China, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Taiwan and every other country I'm too lazy to type out will hit movie houses, art house little theaters and local film festivals in New York. We might also organize private screenings and watch DVDs together. For the die hard, we might even hit NYU or Columbia and attend symposiums or presentations. Please feel free to use the m …

Do you sometimes quote lines from a Bette Davis film at the office only to get a blank stare in return? Keep meeting those who think that black and white movies are "primitive"?  Are there independent or art house movies that  you want to see, but can't seem to drum up interest among your other friends? Well, then you should join up with folks that know just how great classic and quality current films can be--the Classic and Quality Current  Movie Meetup of Manhattan! We go to movies of the 1930 …

Do you enjoy the movies? We do too! Join us to see a wide range of movies with other movie fans. We usually include time after the movie for discussion over a bite to eat or a drink.

Let's get together to see films that most people don't want to see because... You have read subtitles or... the actors look like you and me and not the beautiful Hollywood stars. Hartford has at least 7 screens in the area dedicated to alternative cinema (Bow-Tie Cinema City (4), Cinestudio (Trinity College), Aetna Theatre at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and Real Art Ways). There arte also fioreign films shown in Bloomfield and at Wesleyan (a great movie secret place). Most of the fi …

Sleep No More, Nitehawk Cinema, The Public Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, PS 122, New Museum, MOMA, IFC, Film Forum, Park Avenue Armory.. Please add to the list of places and events featuring cultural, experimental happenings. I find most groups focused on eating out, happy hours or touristy pursuits. I tend toward the more challenging sometimes pricey places and events that make you feel and think or at least provide you with a cool experience. Seeking members about 25 to 45 to be among peers.

Come and draw the models, drink and mingle with other artists! Each workshop will be themed.  You don't have to be a professional artist to join, just someone that wants to try figure drawing and likes to mingle with other artists.   Some of the events will feature different people's art.

This is a group with only two requirements: love movies and love LGBT people. We want to bring LGBT movie fans in NY together to see new LGBT films and then discuss them over drinks. But since we love movies as much as we love LGBT people, we may also take in other independent or art house movies, regardless of gay characters or themes. Meeting times will vary depending on what's playing and when.
