WHAT WENT DOWN AT KINO #7?

What a blast. The Horse Hospital was packed to the rafters on Monday 20th July. Way over a hundred people came down (and they didn't come for the free popcorn and free sushi either).

A cracking programme of shorts presented personally by the filmmakers. Not pre-screened and pre-judged by us - a totally open screen. Those screening, in no particular order, were:

Ed Aldridge - Earth Fucker
James Lander - Out of Work
Hugo Sieiro & Rut Briones - Phobia
Jesse Thompson - Dream Girl
Yemi Bamiro - My War is Yours
Paul Goodman - The Chamber of Horrors
Lola Clavo- No Love Lost
George Groshkov - Stuck in the Draft
Warren Chapman - The Day

In a spot about our international Kino brothers and sisters, Kino organiser Sam Hilton screened his film The Girlfriend Problem, which he shot recently at a filmmaking kabaret in Vienna. We also screened Casse Tete, a beautiful short by Filip Piskorzynski of Kino Hamburg and Kate George of Kino Adelaide, which they produced together at a kabaret in Trouville, France.

Challenge films were awarded to Jesse Thompson (Party like it's £19.99) and James Lander (The same thing, but better). That's what you get for forgetting to put the logo on the end of your film (do we ask too much...). We look forward to seeing those films at Kino sometime in the near future.

Music was provided by Dan Smith (see picture), with an absolutely blinding performance which the crowd went a little crazy for. Some great giveaways from BFI and Prince Charles Cinema too - books, dvds, tickets and annual memberships.

If you were there and you have photos, you can upload them to our Facebook group here, or email them to us at info@kinolondon.com
