What we’re about
Welcome to Books, Films & More Club — a gathering for curious minds who crave meaningful conversation.
Inspired by the literary salons of the past, this is a space for people who enjoy diving deep into ideas, culture, and creativity. We meet monthly to explore the intellectual and artistic works that move us — whether it's a passage from a novel, a philosophy podcast, a foreign film, a museum visit, or even a thoughtfully crafted meal.
Each gathering is centered around thoughtful exchange, not small talk. This is not your average book club or social meetup — it’s a place to stretch your thinking, share your passions, and be inspired by what others are discovering in the world around them.
🗓 What to Expect at Each Meetup:
Welcome & Warm-Up (10 mins)
Welcoming newcomers, and overview the agenda
Theme of the Month (25 mins)
We explore a shared theme through short reflections. Bring something that connects to it — a passage from a book, a memory, a photo, a scent, a dish.
The Curated Roundtable (30 mins)
Everyone brings one thing they’ve recently read, watched, listened to, or tasted — and shares why it moved them.
It could be:
anything! a podcast, a recipe, a poem, a documentary, movie, song, book, you name it! :)
Big Question (15 mins)
We explore a thought-provoking question inspired by the theme — something that lingers long after we leave.
Close & Carry-Out (10 mins)
We wrap with a takeaway or intention to bring into the next month.
