Hello everybody,

At the end, Barcelona meetings were not continued, even as all the participants enjoyed a lot these opportunities to find friendly people and very passionate with filmmaking. Hopefully there will be new opportunities to have new meetings.

For now, I can announce that tomorrow Friday there will be an screening of a documentary made by our colleague Lucian Segura, shot with Gh2 and Gh3. You can find the information below. Lucian and I will be there. I hope to see you there! :D

Info:

We invite you to the premiere in Barcelona of our film 1.5 STAY ALIVE, which we were filming for the past two years in the Caribbean region. The movie was officially released in Paris a month ago, during the world conference on climate change cop21. It is a musical film, with many good live music performances, taking place in different Caribbean countries, speaking about the global warming.

Location: BARCELONETA CIVIC CENTRE (Carrer de la Conreria 1-9) Date and Time: January 15 - 7:30 p.m. (55min)

It is a free-pass screening, so you can invite your friends and family, and also forward this email.

The fourth meetup in Barcelona (14th of Mach) was again a success. We started at 7.30pm and it ended at 2am. First of all we ate and drank something in the Franckfurt Pedralbes, waiting for all the people (three new friends joined the Barcelona PV meeting group). At 8.20pm we went to a room with a good video projector, where everyone of us shown to the others some extracts of our works, not only finished ones but (more interesting) first editing and raw material from upcoming ones.

It was really a very interesting activity, more than three hours of discusing projects, ways of working, tools and lenses, hack distributions, "Africa light", experimental filmaking, tips, experiences, etc... We watched material from GH cameras and BMPCC, both in b/n and color modes. We also played a little bit with a BMPCC with speedbooster and a GH1 with a Voighlander 25mm T0,95.

At 12 o'clock we went to a bar to eat something and continue talking and make fun. It was really a good time for all of us, as we all said at the end of the meeting (2 am).

Of course, soon there will be a fifth meeting and we'll be very glad if anyone of you join us!

PS. You can find attached some pics of this meeting.

The meeting point is Frankfurt Pedralbes at 19.30 (Carrer de Jordi Girona, 2). At 20h, we'll move to the screening room. If you arrive later, call me and I will appear (+34 627 897 882).

Remember to PM me on 12th of March so I'll inform all.

@Branson, it will be great to have you in one of our meetings! Have a good and exciting adventure in the other side of Europe and see you in summer! :D

In case someone else is coming now to the meetup and does not find the place, here is my phone: +34627897882 (I have whatssapp)

This is to inform you that our second meetup in Barcelona (17th of January) was again a success. We started at 8pm and it ended at 2am (yes, this second time it was not so "hard" as the first time, but again very interesting) . We talked a lot and joined us a new friend. Of course, tapas and vinos made the meeting more "spiritual" haha. For the next meeting, we are talking about making a private screening of a gh2 feature movie directed by one of us, probably next week (we'll inform you about that when we have the definitive date).

Another idea we continued talking about was to organize a PV short film Festival. As we explained in the report of the first meeting: "a PV short film Festival were PV members from all over the world can show their films and discuss all kinds of different issues. We will search for a local Civic Center were we can have a big screening room for a few hundred people and a few smaller meeting rooms for free if we book it in advance. The place is very close to the beach, in the Barceloneta neighbourhood, where people can also find cheap accommodation around 20€ each a night, great Tapa Bars and Restaurants too. (...) may be a good date could be mids of June, shortly before the big boom starts in this town. Barcelona is a very popular city, so if people book the flights in advance you can get really cheap ones for less than 50€ one way.

Next Barcelona meetup is coming friday 17th of January at 20:00h at BITACORA Bar in the Barceloneta, the street is called calle Balboa No 1. Benvinguts!

Just in case someone reads it, I am on the way there, we're a bit late :)

Hi everybody. I'm not going to be available for this 20th at Barcelona.
Hope we can organise more meetups soon.
Maybe attendees can post something here (photos or ideas) after the meetup.
Salut
