WHAT IS THE KINO FILM (MOVEMENT)?

Kino is a film-making movement that advocates the production of short-films on little to no budget, using small crews, and non-competitive collaboration. There are Kino Groups around the world. Kino is divided into individual cells, or chapters, most of which have a monthly screening where member directors and guests can screen their films. Cells may also feature "Kino Kabarets", where members of the public are invited to collaborate and create films.

History

The KINO movement was founded in 1999 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Christian Laurence and friends. It has since spread worldwide (mostly in French-speaking countries and central Europe), and is now composed of over 70 physical cells, as well as many Facebook groups.

The Kino movement first started with monthly events, organized by members of each Kino ''cell'', which are referred to as kinoïtes. A variety of short films, with no or very few resources, are then presented to an audience. In a cabaret-like atmosphere, major directors come and take turns to present their films in person. The public is then invited to go and meet them during intermission or at the end of the evening. Therefore, this monthly event is a place of motivation that acts as a catalyst for artists. 

Second, Kino is in the form of ''kabarets'' - a concept created by the movement, which is considered to be unique in its genre. The Kabarets are ''laboratories'' where film makers, comedians, musicians and other film artists come together to create freely. Often (but not exclusively), Kabarets are part of a film festival and are held in several regions across the globe. Montréal, Québec, Matane, Hull, Trouville (France), Hamburg (Germany), Adélaïde (Australia), and several other Kino cells organize regularly a Kabaret. The goal is to create a short film (under 10 minutes long) in 48 hours. Then, the result is presented to the public.

The added social value of Kino lies in the process of democratization of filmmaking, which the movement offers. This is a place for freedom and sharing of knowledge and technology, a place where anyone can work towards their art or towards enriching someone else's art, without censorship or limitations, aside from equipment limitations. Kino therefore acts as a testing ground and a launching pad for artists.

It is characterized by openness that it has demonstrated. Kino groups are open, without discrimination, to all those who wish to undertake a ''serious'' artistic project. The Kino movement targets first and foremost film, television and multimedia artists’, but it also welcomes anyone who feels that the cinematic adventure is their calling, regardless of their age or prior experience.
