Film Night

[davehun]

I have been chatting to a few people. Can we book a room for tech vids ? git ages 4 and up btrfs

1 or a collection ~ 1 hour once a month followed by coffee

Really nice idea.

Great to have a collection when we are are dry on speakers.

3 x fifteen-20 minute films with 5 minutes in-between to regain concentration then coffee at the end.

Great for winter evenings!

need a github ticket to allow posting suggestions...

Could even mix them in with tech talks, We've had a number of positives on the Skype/Hangouts talks too. Group events for streaming of industry conferences might work too. GDC, FOSDEM, OSCON, Google I/O, WWDC etc.

How do you feel about longer documentaries such as :

• The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters - A man and his attempts to take the world high score for the 80s arcade game, Donkey Kong.
• Into Eternity - A documentary about the construction of the Onkalo nuclear waste repository in Finland. Sounds dry, but it's beautifully shot and is actually quite compelling. Others might find that the long, sweeping pans and shots of the landscape makes it drag on a little.
• Plug & Pray - The promise, problems and ethics of artificial intelligence and robotics

Into Eternity would be especially nice to see on a large screen.

+1 for into Eternity sounds interesting.
