I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Do I believe the world's still there? Is it still out there? … Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different. (Memento, 2000) No matter what anyone tells you - words and ideas can change the world. (Dead Poets Society, 1989) See, Mr. Gitts, most people never have …

Docs In Progress is dedicated to empowering independent documentary filmmakers and educating the general public on documentary film. We do this through a variety of public programs, including moderated screenings of documentary works in progress in Washington DC, Silver Spring, MD and Baltimore, MD; workshops on all aspects of documentary-making and documentary appreciation; and other fun events for documentary filmmakers, aspiring documentary filmmakers, and film afficionados alike.

Greetings! The purpose of this group is for like minded people in the DC/Nova metro area to meetup and enjoy films classifiable as horror, cult, bizarre, and/or independent.  Activities would mostly include film viewings, but other ideas are also welcome. Anyone who is a buff of 1 or more of the above genres has come to the right place.  The goal is to have group consensus steer the way. Welcome! Oz

We are a group of movie fans who like to watch foreign movies and independent films. We normally meet before or after the movie over a coffee or a meal to socialize and talk about movies. To help new members find the group, we try to: 1) meet at the same time (25 min before movie starts; 5-10 minutes later, we go in to get seats); 2) meet at an easy-to-find location; 3) sit at the same place (third or fourth center row from the back). See you at the movies!

Intro: When I first moved to DC, I went to several movies by myself. I discovered that I wasn't the only one. Several DC Professionals attending movies solo! I thought, "It would be nice if I just had some girlfriends that I could meet up with after work, watch a movie, and go get dinner or drinks!" Join "DC Ladies Movie Nights" and do not worry about going to the movies solo anymore! Requirement: Just an interest in movies and an interest in having fun. The atmosphere is casual, without a lot …

Join us for movie nights at our local downtown Silver Spring movie theatre. Occasionally, we will socialize and grab a drink or something to eat following the movie at restaurants or establishments near the theatre.

Pass the popcorn! Join us as we check out the latest and greatest movies playing in the DC and MD area!

Members should be fun, friendly, professionals in their 20's, 30's and 40's. Singles and couples welcome!

This group is for anyone and everyone who loves crime related movies! These movies may be old, new, or anything in between! We can change our location periodically to shake things up; but we will do many of our movie meetups at the Gallery Place theater. I work at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment down the street; so I can offer you half price museum tickets on our movie nights! There are also a lot of restaurants/bars in the area for discussion following the movie. I'm looking in to g …

The word pedestrian has been given a bad rap. It supposedly means "commonplace" or "mundane" or "boring." Well, I'm a pedestrian, and I'm not boring or mundane. And I'm sure you're not. So let's get together and do exciting and extraordinary things.

This group is for people who really love and appreciate cinema with all its different forms and expressions. We'll see only films that are in limited release. It could be a small indie American movie, a foreign drama, a documentary or an experimental animation. I hope ladies and gents who attend will be interested to stay after shows and share their impressions of just watched film while having a drink or two. This is a perfect meetup for people who love movies and want to talk about them. I int …
