KINO #9 : WHAT WENT DOWN AT OUR SEPTEMBER SCREENING

Loads of you turned up at our September screening to break-in the new venue at Vibe Live. It was pretty steady until about 7:45pm, and then suddenly the room was packed. Popcorn queen Natasha couldn't believe her eyes when she turned up to find a real, bonafide popcorn machine sat there freshly cleaned and gleaming. Needless to say the popcorn tasted better than ever, no?

Thanks to Faith Millin and Alejandro Patten for their wonderful rockabilly-blues combo. They had the whole room tapping their toes.

Now, the all important screeners at our open-mic film night, in no particular order:

Jamie Maule-Finch - Just Say Something
Ed Wiles - Mike's How to Make Money, Part 1
Warren Chapman - The Amazing Adventures of Mr. Skull – In the shrine to Women
Michael Hobdell - Dilemma
Olivier Ruellet - Glad and Dishy
Paola Desiderio - Rollin’ On
Will Dorrien-Smith - Philharmonic
Andy Lewis - The Devil and all his works
Alle Segretti - The List
Gerardo S. - Doing Something
Nadaav Soudry - Thought Leaders
Shamus Maxwell - Paul Butler: Krishna Comeback?

Some challenges were handed out for not putting Kino #9 on the end of the film. Following suggestions from the audience, it was decided that Alle Segretti should make a combination of all three ideas pulled out of the box - A film about Battersea Dogs Home, From the point of view of a do' & A film in which all dialogue is thoughts. Ed Wiles is to make A film with the people from Kino, and Gerardo (who volunteered for a challenge, we might add...) will make A French film & A man accidentally walks into a cup of coffee (?!). Ed - are we to expect you with a camera at the next one?

Thanks to BFI Southbank and Curzon Artificial Eye for the giveaways we were able to give to those screening. We're a competition-free night, but we like to have as many things as possible we can give to those who take the trouble to bring their shorts down to Kino. We wouldn't be here without the filmmakers.
