Cinema Heads is a movie group unlike the others; our goal is to view movies with a conscious. We enjoy screenings of films prior to their release dates. Screenings that include a discussion with the film directors, cast, critics or the opportunity to get in deeper into the film industry and the purpose behind the making of the film is what appeal to us the most. Afterwards we gather for dinner and or refreshments to discuss the movie we just seen. You may also consider yourself a "Cinema Head" …

Sleep No More, Nitehawk Cinema, The Public Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, PS 122, New Museum, MOMA, IFC, Film Forum, Park Avenue Armory.. Please add to the list of places and events featuring cultural, experimental happenings. I find most groups focused on eating out, happy hours or touristy pursuits. I tend toward the more challenging sometimes pricey places and events that make you feel and think or at least provide you with a cool experience. Seeking members about 25 to 45 to be among peers.

Armed with whatever equipment we can get our hands on, we will aim to write, shoot, edit and premiere our own short films, music videos, documentaries etc. This meetup is open to anyone with an interest in Films/Music.

Hello, this group is all about going to the movies, well that and the occasional play. Much of what we will see will be local to Stamford, but there will be out of town events as opportunities arise. In keeping with our origins as a group dedicated to "art films" there will be allot of independent and less main stream choices. There will also be the chance to get together for new blockbusters, for drama, action, comedy and science fiction. Just about anything goes.

This is a group anyone who aspires to be in the film industry and want to not only create some cool projects but also connect with others in the field, learn new things, make new friends, and of course have fun doing it. If you have a strong desire to create movies and a love for the industry then this is the group for you. Ready...camera...ACTION!

I like to watch documentary films. I am sure there are others who are like me in this regard! Therefore, this group is for people who love to see documentary films and discuss/share ideas. I don't know about you but the reason I like documentaries because they help me to connect the dots of my understanding. They help me to see, hear and read at the same time.
