Talk about the Weather
The next talk will be held on Tuesday, November 4th.
Please subscribe to our newsletter below.
We have opened our Berlin basement bar exclusively on every first Tuesday of the month between 20h and 23h. The whole event is organised by Less Rain web designers and as:if Film Matters film makers.
The basement bar is a private venue where creative people can surround themselves with a network of inspiration & ideas while having a nice drink or two.
Talk about the weather is developed for practitioners and luminaries in the creative community. Talk about the weather offers every participant the opportunity to not only present their work, ideas, projects or just voice their opinion about cultural currents, but also get instant feedback, help or advice from every single member of the audience. In other words, talk about the weather is not about being entertained, although it can be hugely entertaining.
