Small curated movie nights in a hidden garden in Ixelles, next to Place Flagey.
A mix of:
• cult classics
• recent movies
• international cinema
• comedy nights
• karaoke & dubbing chaos nights
• comfort food and summer vibes
This is not a giant public Meetup where 40 strangers stand awkwardly around overpriced drinks pretending networking is fun. Humanity already suffered enough.
Our idea is simple:
we gather in a private home and transform the courtyard into a small outdoor cinema.
Sometimes we cook together before the movie:
Italian, Thai, Lebanese, Japanese, Balkan, Greek, Latin American street food etc.
Sometimes people simply grab pizza from the excellent pizzeria next door and join the screening.
Food is intentionally relaxed:
bowls, finger food, street food, popcorn, snacks, comfort food.
Some nights are more gourmet.
Some are glorified pizza-and-movie nights.
Both are valid forms of civilization;-)
What makes this different
The group is intentionally small:
usually 6 to 8 people maximum.
People are introduced properly.
Nobody gets abandoned in a corner.
The atmosphere stays human, social and safe.
No heavy drinking.
No creepy behavior.
No random people showing up uninvited.
Smoking is allowed because is outside in the courtyard and occasionally we may have hookah nights depending on the movie/theme.
Typical evenings
• Wong Kar-wai + Asian comfort food
• Spaghetti western + Italian street food
• Anime + sushi night
• Greek cinema + mezze
• Balkan chaos cinema + burek
• Cult movie dubbing nights where people voice scenes live karaoke-style
Yes, this is a real thing now apparently.
Important
Because Meetups and public internet are full of bots, spam accounts, creeps and socially radioactive individuals, we do NOT post the exact address publicly.
To join:
scan the QR code on the image and request access to the private WhatsApp group or send me a DM.
From there:
• we announce movies
• vote on menus
• organize cooking nights
• coordinate places
If you are new in Brussels, introverted, traveling, recently arrived, or simply tired of giant impersonal events, this may be your thing.
