Kino #5: Debrief!..Next Night: June 22nd

Thanks so much to all who came down to the Horse Hospital on Monday 18th May and helped make Kino #5 an absolute blast. Almost 100 people showed for the short film action, beautifully supported with music from Milly Blue and food by Yo! Sushi.


THE FILMS AND FILMMAKERS...

The list of films and filmmakers, in no particular order, was as follows:

Tide, by Ben James Campbell
Chalk, by Alexandra Lexitricity
Texasaxet, by Duncan Reekie
Tall Story, by Ralph Colmar
Circular Dedication, by Sasha Litvintseva
Elephant Boy, by Pat Kelman
Freudian Impotence, by Will Saunders
Bungay Pong, by Grace Connor
Love - Cat Poem, by Alex Goddard
AmoK, by the Stifani Twins
Signs, by Sunny King
Persona, by Ronan Quinlan
Inferno, by Billy

CHALLENGES...

There were a few challenge films justly handed out for not putting the Kino London logo on the end of the film (we don't ask for much in return for a truly open screen). The audience decided that Sunny King should make a sequel to his hugely popular film Signs (apparently we weren't the first to ask him to do this...).

Grace is to make a short with similar visuals to her striking Bungay Pong (those who saw it surely won't forget it), only this time with a discernible narrative...

And, strangely, Ralph Colmar volunteered himself for a challenge (and why on earth not), and is now to make a live action film following the animation he screened last night.

All three are to screen their challenge film at Kino London before they're freed-up to show another of their regular films. Ralph's already promised his for next month. Whenever Sunny and Alexandra can make it back with the results they'll be very welcome - we look forward to it.

NEXT SCREENING: KINO #6 - MONDAY 22nd JUNE, 2009

And so, onwards and upwards. Kino is a monthly event, and we're happy to announce that we're back at the Horse Hospital on Monday 22nd June. In true open-mic style, we're here to provide a regular, uncensored platform for London's indie filmmakers.

With no pre-selection, filmmakers book themselves in on a 'first-come first-served' basis. Abiding by a few simple rules, they then turn up with their film on the night, ready to pop into the player!

And so, in that light, follow our rules for a pleasant screening:

- films must feature 'Kino London' logo (or simply the words) + screening number (6) at the end
- films must be under 6 minutes
- films must be presented on DVD

Anyone wishing to screen at Kino #6 should email our submissions co-ordinator Laura at: screen@kinolondon.com (new email address...)

We'll keep you posted as news of our next live act and food arrangements come in (any offers or suggestions, we'd love to hear them). Thanks again to all those who came down last night. Let's make this thing as big as it can be...

Ciao for now.
