This is a very large and amazing space that we are now calling home. We are super looking forward to hearing your pitches and watching you meet people ready to help you make your films a reality in the really real world! Please note that this is a free event. In order to support the work we do, our community, and the lovely space that is gracious enough to let us hold events there, all we ask is that that you have 2 drinks of some kind or at least some snacks. That would help us out a lot! [🍸](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tb/2/16/1f378.png) For those who are new, our Pitch and Planning Session is a monthly English language event held here in Berlin for people who have an idea for a film and would like to pitch it, as well as those people who are eager to work on films. It's all about getting films made. If you have a film idea that is burning a hole in your brain, tell the people in the audience your story idea and hopefully you will meet people who can help you make your idea into a reality! This event is also for people who want to help out in all aspects of filmmaking to help make these pitches happen. So if your passion is camera, sound, hair and makeup, writing, lighting, fighting, or anything that could help, you are always welcome. Whether you're new to filmmaking or experienced and want to work on something cool and creative, no matter what your area of expertise/interest is, this is for you! Be sure to show up to either pitch your idea or be ready to listen to some interesting pitches from excited people and potentially help someone make their film. Let's make some cool shit! If you still want more information you can head on over to our website: https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/pitch-planning.php I have been a part of making some of these pitched projects into real world movies and I have always had a blast.

From Berlin Comedy in English

The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience. Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week? This is the space to vent your feelings about it. Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures. Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience. 🎟️ Want to warm up before the show? Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.

Cripping Village - Dreaming Disability Justice in Queer Masculine Communities

Cripping Village - Dreaming Disability Justice in Queer Masculine Communities

Fri, Oct 2, 4:30 PM
From Village.Berlin
4.6

**Cripping Village - Dreaming Disability** with **Breandán Drewes** for **GBTQ men** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/cripping-village/w40-2026)** “Cripping Village” is a four-part workshop series (possibly longer) centering the experiences of GBTQ\* men with disabilities, chronic (physical and/or mental) illnesses, and neurodivergence. Guided by community-building approaches, the series aims to provide participants with the opportunity to share experiences and foster a sense of belonging within this space of connection. Participants will engage with a wide range of topics—such as discrimination and loneliness within the queer community, friendship, romance, sexuality, and disability politics. The goal is to lay the groundwork for a space where GBTQ\* men affected by ableism can practice community. Furthermore, participants are encouraged to introduce their own topics that they would like to explore. **General Information** **Accessibility:** to make it possible for as many interested people as possible to take part, we are happy to consider specific access needs or concerns and—where possible—support them. A low-barrier toilet is available, and a mobile ramp can be provided for step-reduced access to the rooms. In the space there are different types of seating (wooden chairs and upholstered armchairs). **Language:** This event will take place in German and/or English depending on the group’s needs. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide sign language interpretation at this time due to the costs involved and the difficulty of securing interpreters on short notice. If volunteers and/or participants are able to support with interpretation, we would be grateful—please get in touch via [events@wearevillage.org](events@wearevillage.org), so we can coordinate. **Cost:** free event with registration 🔵 **Cripping Village – Disability Justice in queer-maskulinen Communities erträumen** mit **Breandán Drewes** für **GBTQ+** ##### [Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/cripping-village/w40-2026) “Cripping Village” ist eine vierteilige Workshopserie (ggf. auch länger), die die Erfahrungen von GBTQ\* Männern mit Behinderungen, chronischen Erkrankungen, Neurodivergenz zentriert. Orientiert an Ansätzen von Community Building sollen die Teilnehmenden die Möglichkeit erhalten sich auszutauschen und in diesem Begegnungsraum somit ein Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit zu erfahren. Es soll eine Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedensten Themen stattfinden, wie bspw. Diskriminierung und Einsamkeit in der queeren Community, Freund\*innenschaft, Romantik, Sexualität. Ziel ist es in ersten Ansätzen einen Ort zu schaffen, wo GBTQ\* Männer, die von Ableismus betroffen sind, Community praktizieren können. Die Teilnehmenden werden darüberhinaus ermutigt eigene Themen einzubringen, die sie gerne bearbeiten möchten. **Hinweise** **Barrierefreiheit**: Damit alle Interessierten die Möglichkeit haben, am Event teilzunehmen, sind wir bereit, besondere Bedürfnisse oder Anliegen zu berücksichtigen und gegebenenfalls nach unseren Möglichkeiten zu erfüllen. Es stehen eine barrierearme Toilette sowie eine mobile Rampe für den barrierearmen Zugang zu den Räumlichkeiten zur Verfügung. Außerdem sind im Raum verschiedene Typen von Sitzgelegenheiten (Holzstühle, gepolsterte Sessel) vorhanden. **Sprache**: Diese Veranstaltung findet je nach Bedarf der Gruppe auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch statt. Gebärdensprachdolmetschung können wir derzeit leider nicht anbieten, da dies mit Kosten verbunden ist und kurzfristig schwer zu organisieren sein kann. Wenn Freiwillige und/oder Teilnehmende bei der Verdolmetschung unterstützen können, freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht an [events@wearevillage.org,](events@wearevillage.org) damit wir das koordinieren können. **Kosten:** Kostenloses Event mit Anmeldung
