As a creative laboratory, Palo Alto Int'l Film Festival's mission is to foster innovation and educate the community about those ideas that most inspire its members. John Lasseter of Pixar expressed that "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires art." PAIFF strives to be a conduit for increased innovation in art, technology and film. As movies migrate to digital, the future of cinema will depend on the cutting edge tools that continue to be conceived and developed in the Bay Area. These too …

I made this group because I had trouble finding an indie music group centered around the South Bay/San Jose area. As a grad student, I don't have money to dish out for tons of concerts, so I thought that we could meet at various affordable activities such as hikes, Farmers Markets, downtown excursions and happy hours (these are some of my favorites, but feel free to suggest more). There we can get to know potential concert buddies, discuss new/favorite music and plan events. I'd love to arrange …

I started this group, for people who have a great passion for filmmaking,  it is  also  a place to network with other positive  people who want to make films.

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 …

Hello! This is a group for people who want to go out to the theater to see all kinds of movies: indie, documentaries, block busters, horror, sci fi, fantasy, you name it. If it looks good, I am open to potentially checking it out. In most cases, I will choose theaters in the Oakland and Berkeley area, near a Bart station. Dinner may or may not be included, depending on my schedule for that day. After the movie, we can go to a cafe for drinks, dessert and discussion. I'm looking forward to meet …

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 …

We are a group of wannabe telugu youtubers working on sitcoms/sketch comedies in the Bay Area. Shooting is only over weekends. We all have tonnes of suggestions, ideas for Tollywood, but haven't had a platform to say it out loud. So this is our chance. I have started working on a sitcom called 'Desi Seinfeld' based on the original, and would want to take it to the next level. Lets get together

Welcome to The IMC Academy Meetup Group. We specialize in passing on the Teachings of The Legendary Broadway Acting Coach, Manu Tupou. Gleaning true knowledge and workable applications from his extensive educational experience in the arts, Manu Tupou formulated his discoveries into the simplistic, but revolutionary, "New Era Acting Technique" (NEAT). The hallmark of the NEAT technique is its respect for the sanctity and sanity of the individual artist-upgrading the artist's creation away from th …

Meet others who deliberately seek out challenging foreign, avant-garde, and experimental films screened in San Francisco or Berkeley. After each film, we will get together for conversation at a cafe. If you, like me, also enjoy thought-provoking literature, check out my Classic Literature and Cafes Club: http://www.meetup.com/Classic-Literature-and-Cafes

San Francisco is a hotbed for lowbrow art so I created this group to explore local lowbrow happenings, and to meet other enthusiasts. Viewing gallery openings and hops are a staple at galleries like White Walls, The Shooting Gallery, 111 Minna, Guerrero Gallery and Fabric8 to name a few.  Also films relating to lowbrow culture and related events will be posted here.  Open to suggestions or a heads up about other events, maybe a live art night at a cafe or art space.  Going out for drinks after i …
