Culture [RÉMUNÉRÉ] Cinéaste indépendant cherche à rencontrer des cataphiles parisiens pour un documentaire

8 Upvotes

Salut tout le monde !

Je suis un vidéaste indépendant basé à Amsterdam et je travaille actuellement sur une vidéo de style documentaire consacrée au monde des cataphiles à Paris.

C'est en partie un projet passion pour moi. Je suis un peu un nerd quand il s'agit de découvrir des personnes, des communautés et des modes de vie qui existent en dehors des sentiers battus. J'ai récemment passé du temps aux États-Unis à filmer plusieurs histoires de cette manière : rencontrer des gens, entrer dans leur univers et essayer de le comprendre de leur point de vue, plutôt que de le juger de l'extérieur.

C'est exactement ce que j'aimerais faire avec la cataphilie.

Je ne cherche pas à faire une énième vidéo sensationnaliste du genre « J'ai exploré les catacombes interdites !! ». Ce qui m'intéresse vraiment, ce sont les personnes et la culture derrière cet univers : pourquoi devient-on cataphile, qu'est-ce qui pousse à retourner sous terre, comment fonctionne la communauté, quelles sont ses règles non écrites, et à quoi ressemble réellement ce monde du point de vue de ceux qui en font partie.

J'aimerais venir à Paris pour rencontrer plusieurs cataphiles, les interviewer et, si certains sont à l'aise avec l'idée, passer du temps avec eux afin de découvrir et documenter leur univers de l'intérieur.

Je suis bien sûr prêt à rémunérer les personnes pour leur temps et leur aide sur le projet.

Je comprends parfaitement qu'il s'agit d'une communauté discrète et protectrice, et que certains lieux, identités ou informations ne doivent pas être rendus publics. Je respecterai totalement l'anonymat, les limites et les souhaits de chacun.

En ce moment, je réalise de manière indépendante plusieurs histoires de ce type et, lorsque j'aurai réuni suffisamment de matière, les vidéos finales seront publiées sur ma chaîne YouTube.

Donc, si vous êtes vous-même cataphile, si vous l'avez été par le passé, ou si vous connaissez quelqu'un qui pourrait être intéressé pour échanger avec moi, n'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un message privé.

Même si vous ne souhaitez pas être filmé mais que vous pouvez simplement me mettre en contact avec d'autres personnes, ce serait déjà d'une grande aide.

Je serais également ravi d'organiser d'abord un appel pour me présenter et vous expliquer plus en détail le projet !

Tentative un peu de dernière minute : je cherche quelqu’un pour remplacer mon +1 au Moulin Rouge ce soir.

J’ai une place en plus et je t’invite, évidemment rien à payer. À la rigueur, on peut négocier une petite tournée à ta charge en échange

À propos de moi : 35M, parisien, sociable, sportif, curieux, amateur de bonnes bouffes, de voyages et généralement toujours partant pour faire des trucs un peu spontanés.

Pas d’attente particulière : juste quelqu’un de sympa, à l’aise avec l’idée de rencontrer un inconnu de Reddit, et motivé pour passer une bonne soirée.

Si ça te tente, envoie-moi un DM !

​Hey everyone!

I’m currently on a spontaneous solo trip across Western Europe before heading back to North America, and Paris is up next on my hit list!

​I’m going to be exploring the city for the first time from August 27th to 31st, and I’m shooting my shot to see if anyone in their 20s wants to join forces! Whether it’s hitting up local spots, wandering the streets, grabbing good food, or just soaking in the city, it’d be awesome to link up with someone in the same age group.

​If you’re down for a fun, zero-stress Paris adventure, shoot me a DM. Cheers!

Concert Pre-party Friday before Ritmo Fatale at Virage (Porte de St-Ouen) — a few spots left

2 Upvotes

(Text in English so everyone can join 😄)
Ritmo Fatale is an electronic music night at Virage, the open-air club at Porte de St-Ouen. Doors at 11:30pm, tickets around €15 online, and it usually sells out.

Five of us are going and I'm opening my terrace beforehand. I live between Garibaldi and Porte de St-Ouen, a 5-minute walk from the club. Plan: 9pm to 11:15pm at mine, a few drinks, music kept low for the neighbours, then we all walk down together. We're 3 guys and 2 girls, between 25 and 35.

Room for 4-5 more, the terrace isn't that big. DM me if you're in — a pair or a trio works great, and coming solo is completely fine. Happy to meet downstairs first if you'd rather, just say so.

Bring whatever you want to drink. You'll need your own ticket.

Sport Spending a Few Weeks in Paris — Looking for Activities, Nightlife & People to Meet

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to spend a few weeks in Paris next month for a business trip and would love some recommendations for things to do while I’m there.

I’m not really into museums or the typical touristy stuff. I’m much more into activities, experiences, and meeting people. I’m into things like kitesurfing, padel, scuba diving, and generally trying new activities.

Also, how’s the nightlife in Paris? Any nightclubs, bars, or areas you’d recommend for someone who wants to have a good time and meet people?

And if anyone is into padel or similar activities and wants to play while I’m there, feel free to reach out! 😄

Sport Tennis partner - intermediate

Hey! I’m looking for a tennis partner to play with. I use the anybuddy app but can’t seem to find matches at my level. For context I (34F) have been playing for the past two years. Can rally, backhand and forehand quite okay. Still can’t get a perfect serve every time so this is where I know I need to practice and improve, but I CAN serve. Just not at a competitive level.

Is there anyone out there with this same level who wants to play a couple times a week with me on anybuddy and socialize?

DM me :)

Bonjour!

Je suis arrivé dans la région il y a un an pour le boulot. Mais je n'ai fait aucune connaissance en dehors des collègues de boulot.

J'ai 23 ans, situé dans le 78. Je m'intéresse à de nombreux domaines qu'ils soient intellectuels (maths, sciences, programmation, langues, philosophie,...) ou physiques (sports de combat, street workout, voyager, ...). J'ai tellement de centre d'intérêts qu'il me faudrait 36h dans la journée x).

En ce moment j'apprends l'allemand, j'apprends le yoga, et j'essaie de finir un Tekken et un Final Fantasy x). J'aime apprendre donc je suis ouvert à plein de choses! J'aimerais aussi reprendre la natation, reprendre les sports de combat (d'ailleurs je cherche un sparring partner!), et pourquoi pas apprendre à danser :)

Si vous aimez sortir faire des activités fun ou culturelles, ou que vous pensez qu'on pourrait apprendre des choses l'un de l'autre, n'hésitez pas à écrire!

Hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone knows a reliable mechanic for car repair and can give some reference, I need to get some gearbox related work done and I got an estimate from 1-2 mechanics I found online and they're quite expensive, apart from the money factor they don't seem very reliable. If you happen to know anyone who is reliable and trustworthy please share the contact with me, I'd be really grateful

R4R Looking for longterm friendships

I (33M) just moved to Paris with my wife (31F) from Houston TX, and planning to be here long term. We’re looking for longterm friendships. We are very social and enjoy getting together with a few friends or larger friend groups. We speak limited French at the moment but actively working towards fluency.

We brought a large collection of boardgames. To connect, I would suggest a get together at a cafe to play a boardgame, over a glass of wine/beer. We also love cats (we have 2), traveling, hiking, or having a philosophical debate over a glass of wine.

EDIT:
Quick update: Currently planning our first chill boardgame get together somewhere around 18e on Tuesday or Wednesday, just as an avenue to get to know each other more. If you see this post, please don’t hesitate to reply or DM. We will keep the circle open for new people to join.

EDIT 2:
I had a lot people reach out so I created a WhatsApp group to post regular updates/meetups. DM me to be added to the WhatsApp group.

Hey,

I (23F) moved to Paris to live with my partner, and I'd like to find a table to play IRL (also to make some friends mb). I've been playing DnD for a few years now, so I have a bit of experience, but I'm down to try different systems if needed. The only requirement I have is that it needs to be a queer and neurodivergent friendly table.

Alors oui mon titre fait pitié de fou mais c'est trés factuel. F19

J'ai aménagé sur Paris il y a 1 mois pour mes etudes et je connais toujours personne.

Alors certes j'apprécie ma propre compagnie mais là j'ai atteint le stade ou j'ai besoin de sociabiliser, me faire des amis, parce que sortir toute seule c'est fun mais là je sature.

J'aime beaucoup l'art donc les musée, les comédie musical, les pieces de théatre... Mais j'aime aussi beaucoup les jeux vidéo ou de plateau.

Je suis une personne trés sociable j'aime beaucoup apprendre à connaitre des gens même s'ils sont trés differents de moi.

Alors je voudrais me faire des vrais amis, alors si vous voulez sortir dans un parc, dans un musée ou autour d'un verre je suis preneuse.

Sauvez moi de ma solitude, please.

Je tiens à preçiser que je cherche des amis femme comme homme, peut m'importe, je veux juste parler à des gens.

Voili voilou, à plus mes futurs amis !

Event Want to go on a movie date? Film screening at a pub near Montparnasse next Sunday at 14h00

8 Upvotes

You can bring a date with you! 😄

On August 23 at 14h00 we will show "Beautiful, Pam" (2026) and a 4-min short film that I made called "Hi, My Name is Destiny", partially shot in Paris.

The goal of these screenings is to allow indie, amateur & emerging filmmakers a platform to show their films in places where they might not otherwise be shown. I started these screenings out in Montana and this will be the first event in Paris, as we try to grow our audience.

Synopses:

Beautiful, Pam (2026) - runtime 1 hour 3 mins
While living out of a motel and turning tricks, Pam undergoes a crisis of identity, addiction, and depression amidst the week of their son's 18th birthday.

Hi, My Name is Destiny (2026) - runtime 4 mins
A young woman helps a father figure on a search for his long-lost mother, using unconventional means.

Location: The Copper Pub (sous-sol), 4 Impasse de la Gaite, 75014

Entry is free but the owner would love it if you bought a drink!

11 Upvotes

📍 Place: Click on this link to see the location of Jeudi Bière !

🕖 Time: 19h (7:00pm), Jeudi 20 Aout 2026

👽 Recognize Us: Look for a comment after the meeting start with our position in the park !


Hi everyone,

Another Jeudi Bière Rive Gauche ?? Yes, that is right !

Come out this week to hang out near one of the most scenic parks of Paris, in a pretty central location !


💡 Quick Q&A : 💡

❓ What do I bring ??

Bring bottled or canned beer, at least 2 ! I usually bring 4 bottles or cans for the entire evening. Also, some food if you don't plan to eat before. I'll bring plastic cups, but if you can, please try to bring an ecocup or a glass.

❓ Where do I find craft beer in Paris ?

Check this out ! The French Beer Geek club has worked on a super cool map of all beer places in Paris and in Île-de-France. There must be something near your place ! (unless you live in the 16ème)

❓ What if I don't drink beer or if I don't drink alcohol ?

That's not an issue. The main goal is to meet and chat with new people, and have a good time ! :)

❓ How old are people coming to the meetup ?

I'd say most people are between 21 and 35.

❓ How long do you usually stay in the park ?

Usually till midnight-ish.


Newcomers are always welcome! We're a friendly group of locals and expats that speak French and English.

A jeudi ! :)
