The Marin Film/Foodies is a group of like-minded men and women who enjoy a wide variety of movies. Whenever possible, we try to match the ethnic cuisine of the film, but otherwise the goal is just to share a good meal and conversation after a movie.   We primarily watch movies in Marin County. We regularly patronize the Rafael Film Center, but also visit mainstream cinemas and other local venues. Very rarely we will venture outside Marin and go to a specialty cinema in the East Bay, San Francisc …

"I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see."  — Dziga Vertov   This is a group dedicated to providing a space for other documentary lovers to meet, see, and discuss rare, hard to access documentary films. My wife and I are both passionate about documentary film, and are constantly surprised that they get so little exposure. We thought a meetup group would be a great way to try and change this, as well as hopefully meeting some kindre …

I ran a cinema for many, many years, and what I loved the most was talking to folks about their experience of the films. In this meetup group, I hope we can create special, memorable filmgoing experiences where we can gather in an interesting venue, see a film together, and enjoy chatting over coffee, drinks or dinner. All suggestions for venues, films and gathering spots are welcome.

We are a group of women who lay across all the spectrums, we are the geeks, the jocks, the social butterflies and the shy girls, the girl who fits in everywhere and the girl who has a hard time fitting in, the women who like to keep it real, those outside or inside the norm. But most of all we are a friendly group of women who just want to hang out, have fun and enjoy ourselves without the pressure to fit into a certain mold. Come and hang out with us, be yourselves, in a judgement free social g …

Like the South Bay chapter.... "This meetup is here to help provide a social location for those looking for something a little less mainstream. We're a non-judgmental group who loves geeking out just as much as YOU DO!" The South Bay group has had such a great response, we thought there might be enough geeks in the peninsula area to make a sister group. Let's share geeky ideas, go geeky places, and do geeky things together! All manner of geeks are welcome:  singles, couples--even people w …
