Film Clubs Berlin

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *1\. To sustain and grow this amazing community\, we started a member contribution that is due every month\. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community\. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out\!* *2\. This event may be photographed and filmed by us\.

Nov. 09th at 18:30** [📍](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tcc/2/16/1f4cd.png)**House of Music** **RAW Gelande** **Revalerstr 99,** **10245 Berlin** The event is on the ground floor, by the bar. 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.

Screenwriting Focus Group | Filmmakers & Movie Nerds

Sun, Nov 1, 2:00 PM

From Berlin Screenwriters Network

**🎬 Screenwriters' Meetup Invitation 🎬** This meetup is for anyone passionate about storytelling—whether you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, or someone with a great idea looking for the right collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your screenplay, this is the perfect space to create, collaborate, and refine your work. **When You Bring Your Screenplay, Think About Three Key Ingredients:** 1. **Your Main Character** – Who are they? What drives them? 2. **The Central Conflict** – What’s at stake? What’s standing in their way? 3. **The Theme** – What’s the deeper idea that motivates you to tell this story? If you’re struggling to find a theme, define your character, or establish a strong conflict—don’t worry. That’s exactly what this meetup is for. We’re here to help you uncover the core of your story and give you the tools to develop it further. Already have an elaborate story? Great! Reflect on these elements: * **Compelling Characters** – Are they layered, dynamic, and memorable? * **Inner Conflicts, Interpersonal Tensions, and Global Stakes** – Does your story operate on multiple levels? * **A Strong, Personal Theme** – Does your theme resonate with you and give your story purpose? If you can identify these elements, we can dive even deeper and give you focused, constructive feedback to help your screenplay reach its full potential. Bring your ideas, your drafts, and your passion. Let’s collaborate, challenge each other, and create stories that matter. We can’t wait to see you there!

📸 Portray and/or be portrayed in Hansaviertel!

Sat, Nov 7, 11:00 AM

4.9

**📸 Portray and/or Be Portrayed in Hansaviertel!** Our staple community portrait session is back in Hansaviertel, full of mid-century modernist post-war architecture (Interbau 57: Niemeyer, Aalto, Gropius) bordering the wild, untamed forest paths of western Tiergarten! The concept is simple: whether you want to shoot behind the lens, step in front of the camera as a model, or do both, we team up in small groups to co-create, experiment, and update our portfolios. Surrounded by golden autumn foliage, stone paths, and soft afternoon light, it’s all about relaxed collaboration, trying new angles, and connecting with fellow creatives in Berlin. **📍 Location - Hansaviertel:** * Our location will enrich our portraits with bold primary-colored concrete balconies, floating staircases, pilotis (concrete pillars), and clean geometric shadows, instantly transitioning across the road into overgrown lakeside greenery. **📅 Schedule (7.11.2026):** * **12:00 – 15:00** Hansaviertel * **15:00+** \- late lunch\, location to be provided later **Bring your camera, choose whether you want to** **portray, be portrayed, or both, and let’s co-create.** * We will rotate roles so there is only one active model at a time. * You'll work in small groups of 3–4 people * This format is inspired by our successful TFP (Time for Photos) sessions. **🌧️ Weather & Cancellation Policy** This is an outdoor event, so we rely on suitable conditions. In the case of rain or freezing temperatures, the event may be cancelled or rescheduled at very short notice. Please make sure to check Meetup (or turn on notifications) before heading out for any last-minute updates! **Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event:** **🔗** [View Reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXHaLhKFXc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) **🎟️ Tickets & RSVP** * Price: Free! However, a voluntary donation of 5-10 € is highly appreciated. Your contributions directly support the club and help us keep organising future events. * PayPal: paypal.me/grzegorzforysiak **👥 Participant Requirements** * **Skill Level:** **Intermediate+ photographer.** You must have prior experience with (portrait) photography. All models are welcome! **⚙️ What to bring** If you have it, bring additional lighting tools (speedlights, constant lights, or reflectors). We will be actively experimenting with creative lighting solutions to cut through shadows or contrast against the urban backdrop. **🤝 Photo Sharing & Community Guidelines** To ensure a great experience for everyone, we ask all participants to agree to the following: * Public Social Media: If you want to post photos to Instagram (or other public media), you must get mutual permission from the other party (photographer/model) first * Share your favorite photos in our Discord and WhatsApp group (we might repost your best photos - you will be fully credited/invited to collaboration) * Give Credit: All public posts must tag the author, the model, @the_isoclub, and @_portraitscenter. * *Tip:* We highly recommend using [PicFlow](https://picflow.com/) to easily select and finalize photos that work for both parties! **📷 Media Release & Participation Agreement (TFP Basis)** The ISO Club runs on good energy and collaboration! Because our events are built around community and creative production, we operate on a mutual "Time for Photos" (TFP) framework. By RSVPing, you agree that organizers and fellow creators can snap photos/videos of you (including cool behind-the-scenes moments) to share in our Instagram Reels and promo materials. If you prefer not to be on camera, we totally get it, but this specific meetup might not be the right fit.
