KINO Sydney

KINO HAS ARRIVED!

KINO is a movement that started in Montreal, Canada. The basic premise of this worldwide community is to encourage people to make films with little or no experience, money or time.

KINO cells operate on a monthly basis with people coming together to watch the films made in the preceding month. This kind of guerilla filmmaking allows participants to gain experience and encourages people to meet other creative individuals whom they can learn from and work with. It’s all about making connections and friendships and sharing a love of film. By providing a platform for all levels of filmmakers – KINO is a means of creating a network of filmmakers with new and exciting visions. Everyone is encouraged to participate in some way –whether it is by holding a boom, directing or acting.

KINO Sydney began last November and is the second KINO cell to exist in Australia, the first being KINO Adelaide. Put together by the non-profit film organisation, The Festivalists, KINO Sydney is set to become a major part of the global network of KINO filmmakers. The next KINO Sydney will be held on Monday August 13th from 6:30pm at the Chalkhorse Gallery in Surry Hills. So come along – bring your friends and be inspired to make some films!
