This weekend, Berlin plays host to roller derby, alternative Olympics, an open-air short film festival and a Brazilian feijoada party – scroll down to find out what that is!</h2> <p>Storified by überlin · Tue, Jul 10 2012 05:44:53</p> <div> <h2>Saturday 14th July</h2> </div> <div><b>Berlin Bombshells VS.

Juli | Bear City Roller Derby"London calling to the faraway towns Now war is declared – and battle come down" Der Name ist Programm: wenn London Brawling gegen unsere…</div> <div>I’m going to go ahead and admit that I don’t understand roller derby. I think the rules were explained in <i>Whip It</i>, but I was probably staring too hard at Drew Barrymore to listen. But I understand this much: <b>roller derby is COOL</b>. <div></div> <div>We know a bunch of the Bombshells, so we’re happy to support them in their grudge match against (boo!) London Brawling. According to this video, (I think) the Brits beat Berlin’s own last time – so you’d better show up and show them the bears mean business.<b> Growl.</b> </div> </div> <div>London Rollergirls:Brawl Saints v Berlin Bombshellslrglive</div> <div><b>Future Shorts Film Festival</b> <div>An al-fresco date with the Berlin Film Society</div> </div> <div>undefinedStaticflickr</div> <div> <p>The <b>Berlin Film Society</b> is hosting the world’s biggest pop-up film festival in one of Berlin’s best open-air cinemas, Freiluftkino Insel im Cassiopeia. </p> <p></p> <p>The Summer Season of the Future Shorts Film Festival mixes up new, award-winning short films from around the world, in a programme that is the same duration as a feature film! <b>For more info, check out the <a target=”_blank” href=”http:// https://www.facebook.com/events/316717651745526/”><a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.facebook.com/events/316717651745526/”><a target=”_blank” href=”http://www.facebook.com/events/316717651745526/”>Facebook event</a></a></a> or click through to the Berlin Film Society website below. </b></p> </div> <div>Berlin Film Societyberlin film society, berlin film club, berlin film klub, berlin film societie,</div> <div> <h2>Sunday 15th July</h2> </div> <div><b>The Berlin Slowlympics Warm Ups</b> <div>Slow Travel Berlin gets in gear for its local response to the global games<b> </b></div> </div> <div>throwing wet shoesveader</div> <div>No matter what happens at this year’s Olympics, my abiding memory of it will be the time, six years ago, when I refused to sign a petition supporting the London bid. My point, that London hardly needed to attract any more visitors, inflamed the clipboard toting-chump in front of me… <i>Anyway</i> rather than just whine about the games, like me and other Engländers, <b>Slow Travel Berlin</b> have come up with an alternative: the <b>Slowlympics.</b></div> <div><i>”Timed to coincide with the city’s very own screenings of the London Olympics, the Slowlympics will pay homage to the ancient games while making a tongue-in-cheek statement on our culture’s obsession with speed….</i> <div><i><br />Suggested Games For Adults</i><br /><i><br />• Currywurst / Doener Eating Competition <br />• Teebeutelweitwurf (Tea Bag Throwing)<br />• Slow Bicycle Race<br />• 200m backward Sprint<br />• Extreme Ping Pong<br />• Individual Fall Down<br />• Double Footed Hurdles<br />• Bonving (Shoe Throwing)<br />• Hipster Carrying<br />• Toe Wrestling<br />• Wetball (netball with water balloons)<br />• Pea Rolling (rolling a pea with the nose)<br />• Standweitsprung (Standing Long Jump)” </i> <div><i><br /></i></div> <div>There’s a Warm Up event this Sunday, where you can get a preview of the sporting hilarity (laughletics?) involved.
