We held a pretty packed event at the East End Film Festival on Saturday. It'd be fair to say that we were well and truly crammed into the wonderful old Routemaster bus parked up in Spitalfields Market (it's still there - go look!), the festival's Filmmaker's Centre.
We gave everyone there the run down on what Kino London is all about, screened some shorts we made at London Short Film Festival, and then opened the floor to new projects to screen at Kino #5 on May 18th. We're pleased to report that a handful of new shorts were announced - all to be made between now and o
ur next visit to the Horse Hospital next month.Paolo Genovesi, Siobhan, Alessandro, Nick (sometimes surnames are hard to come by...!) and Kino organiser Sam Hilton all announced a new short for Kino #5, and were able to crew up and cast largely from other people attending the event. Thanks to all those people that turned up and were keen to get involved in the projects.
And to those on the list - keep in touch with us. We may not have gotten details for all of you, so get back in touch with us to let us know how your project is progressing. If you need any help with personnel, equipment or just advice, maybe we can point you in the right direction. Don't forget you can also post on our Facebook page if you're looking for assistance. We have over 300 members and counting...!
KINO #5 - TO SCREEN...
We can at this stage now open up the line-up to other new shorts for Kino #5. If you want to screen, contact sam@kinolondon.com with your name, film title, format and running length. We'd then expect you to turn up on the night with your film, ready to pop in the player!
In return for this open platform we ask you to follow just a few simple guidelines, to ensure that everyone is on an equal footing:
- films must feature 'Kino London' logo + screening number (5) at the end
- films must debut at the Kino screening (after the screening you can of course do whatever you like with the film, including removing of the logo if you choose)
- films must be under 6 minutes-
- films must be presented on DVD
(Please email us if you need the Kino London logo)
If you can't tick all those boxes but feel you can convince us to screen your short, get in touch. We may be open to a little bit of arm twisting.
