[FILM MEETUP] Season 3 Challenge 7 (S3C7) Screening!

Join us on **Sunday, September 27th** at BRIC for our seventh screening of Season 3! We'll be watching the incredible short films made for this challenge, and kicking off the eighth challenge for the season! **In order to keep the group going as it grows into new spaces, we are accepting donations at a suggested price of $20. Our mission to keep filmmaking free and accessible to all remains the same, so these funds go strictly towards operating costs. This donation is not required to attend, but your contributions go towards a great cause.** Submit films for Challenge 7 [HERE](https://shortcutsnyc.com/submit) **Deadline to submit is Thursday, September 24th by 11:59pm.** Challenge Rules for S3C7 (August 29 - September 27): * Rule 1 (Form): **Tracking Shot** * Rule 2 (Wildcard): **Adapt a literary work** **For S3C7, you have until September 24 to shoot a film adapted from a literary work. The film must have at least one tracking shot. Get creative and ask yourself: How can you subvert expectations with these elements?** * ***NOTE: If these guidelines are not met there is a high probability that your film will not be shown. Short Cuts is a learning community so you MUST learn what these rules are before planning for your film. We prioritize films that are submitted on time, are 5 minutes and under, and have the director present. Films that are submitted on time and follow the rules will be shown in ascending runtime order, and then everything submitted late will be after. No generative AI films or films largely enhanced by generative AI.*** \*\*\* At the end of the event, we will provide everyone with two randomly drawn rules from a hat as guidelines for participating in future challenges. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to create short films following these rules. At the next meeting, you will get the opportunity to show off your film, watch what others have made, and receive the next challenge's randomly drawn rules! Note that **no** experience is required, and all you need is a camera and a way to edit and upload your film. **Short Cuts** is a group of independent filmmakers challenging themselves to create short films every \~4 weeks following a number of randomly drawn rules. Each meeting, filmmakers have the opportunity to show off their films and watch others, as well as draw the rules for the next film challenge. This group welcomes any experience level, from those who have never touched a camera, written a script, or acted in a film to seasoned veterans looking for a challenge. **DONATE:** [https://www.nyfa.org/projects/project-info/?id=CA2043](https://www.nyfa.org/projects/project-info/?id=CA2043) **INSTAGRAM:** [https://www.instagram.com/shortcutsny/](https://www.instagram.com/shortcutsny/) **DISCORD:** [https://discord.gg/XQud4Hqeen](https://discord.gg/XQud4Hqeen) **WEBSITE:** [https://shortcutsnyc.com](https://shortcutsnyc.com/)

Although located in the heart of Manhattan, the Grolier Club remains unfamiliar to many New Yorkers. Its thoughtfully curated exhibitions explore the history, artistry, cultural importance, and enduring influence of books and printed materials. For our visit, the Club has graciously arranged a **private docent-led tour of both exhibitions currently on view**. ## 📖 Our Private Docent-Led Tour Our group will be led by a knowledgeable Grolier Club docent who will guide us through both exhibitions and explain their major themes, featured objects, historical background, and cultural significance. The guided portion of our visit will last approximately one hour. Afterward, members will have additional time to return to the displays, examine favorite objects more closely, read the exhibition materials, and continue exploring independently. ## 🖼️ Two Exhibitions in One Visit Our private tour will include both exhibitions presented within the Grolier Club’s galleries. The individual exhibition titles and complete details will be added as soon as they are formally confirmed by the Club. Members can expect a richly presented experience involving rare books, manuscripts, illustrations, printed works, historical documents, and other exceptional objects connected with the art and history of the book. ## ⏰ Event Schedule **10:45 AM** — Meet outside or near the entrance **11:00 AM – 12:00 PM** — Private docent-led tour of both exhibitions **12:00 PM – 1:00 PM** — Additional independent viewing time Members may continue exploring until they are ready to leave. ## 💵 Cost **There is no charge for this event.** The Grolier Club is generously providing our group with complimentary admission and a private docent-led tour. ## 👥 Attendance Limit This event is strictly limited to **20 members**. Because the Club is arranging a docent specifically for us, please RSVP only if you are reasonably certain that you can attend. ## 🌟 Why This Event Is Special This is an opportunity to visit a remarkable New York institution that many people have never experienced, while enjoying expert guidance through two specially curated exhibitions. The event combines art, literature, history, design, collecting, and visual culture in an elegant and intimate setting. Join us for a fascinating morning of discovery at one of New York City’s true hidden cultural treasures.

The Explorers Club has long served as a meeting place for explorers, scientists, researchers, and adventurers. Its headquarters houses research collections, archives, books, maps, films, and artifacts connected to the history of exploration. This is not a typical museum visit — it is a rare opportunity to step inside a private landmark institution devoted to discovery, adventure, science, and the human drive to explore the unknown. *** ## 🌍 **WHY THIS IS SPECIAL** The Explorers Club is associated with legendary achievements in exploration, including major “firsts” connected to the North Pole, South Pole, Mount Everest, the deepest point of the ocean, and even the moon. For our group, this visit offers a fascinating blend of: • History • Science • Adventure • Architecture • Rare collections • Storytelling • Old New York private club atmosphere This is exactly the kind of special-access experience that makes our Social Club unique. *** ## 💵 **COST** **$25 per person** This includes the guided private group tour. Payment will be made through the Meetup event page via PayPal or the Meetup app to reserve your spot. *** ## 🕚 **SCHEDULE** **10:45 AM** — Please arrive and meet outside / near the entrance **11:00 AM** — Private group tour begins **Approx. 12:00 PM** — Tour concludes Please arrive on time, as this is a private scheduled visit. *** ## 📍 **LOCATION** **The Explorers Club** 46 East 70th Street New York, NY 10021 Located on the Upper East Side, between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue. *** ## ⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTES** This is a private group visit, and space will be limited. Please RSVP “YES” only if you fully intend to attend. Because this is a specially arranged private tour, late cancellations or no-shows may affect membership status under our Social Club’s Rules & Regulations. *** ## 🌟 **FINAL NOTE** This is one of those rare New York experiences that most people never get to do. A private visit inside **The Explorers Club** offers a glimpse into a world of legendary expeditions, scientific discovery, historic collections, and the enduring human spirit of exploration. Join us for a truly memorable morning at one of New York City’s most fascinating hidden institutions.
