"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 Bay area 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 …

The East Bay Indy/Foreign/Doc film group returns! Do you love really cool under the radar films?

Meet other apocalypse sci fi lovers over drinks at various cozy bars in the city! Each month we will read a book with an apocalyptic setting picked by either the organizer or voted upon by members. P.S. Some people have asked about what the 1.00 fee is/how is it used.... Most meetup events charge a low fee because meetup costs to start a group.
