After the hectic challenge of our east end filmmaking marathon, Kino London returns to what is our bread and butter - the open-mic film night, the only regular film event of its kind in the city.
Well, brace yourselves people – this was a special one. On Saturday 24th April, Kino London went and had an affair with the East End Film Festival – the result of which was a three-day filmmaking challenge. 40 people took part - filmmakers, actors, camera people, editors, runners... the list goes on. Challengers turned up in droves for the screening on Tuesday 27th – for the first time, we were literally turning underage people away at the door.

KINO LONDON: GUERILLAS IN THE EAST
Spring is upon us, and so too is the aftermath of another great night of short films that was our March screening.
Kino London returned to Vibe Live on Thursday 18th Feb for another amazing night of popcorn, bagels, live music (courtesy of the awesome Victoria & Jacob) and short film fun.
An audience of over 150 people jammed into Vibe Live on 13th Jan for the results of a five day filmmaking blast. Since it was a part of London Short Film Festival, our one unusual stipulation was that each film had to be screened with at least one soundtrack element performed live.
Join us for a very special edition Kino London as we go 'Live' with the results of a five-day filmmaking blast. Every film screened will feature at least one live soundtrack element, whether that be music, dialogue or sound effects.
Kino London brought the festive season to Vibe Live on Tuesday 15th December for the final screening of 2009. There were Christmas gifts galore handed out, crackers pulled and our biggest night ever with 17 shorts shown. Each of the 4 Kino London team showed a new film (it was Laura's first film ever!), and we were really excited to have Dan Smith back with us to perform live. That was a little Christmas present to ourselves.
Thank you all for making Kino 11 an absolute blast last night. It may have been our best one yet as we settle into our new home at Vibe Live with a much more suitable set-up. A screen was erected in the centre of the room and we crammed the space with seats, those who missed out on a seat found comfort in the cushions provided at the front.
Meet Rosie Oddie. She's corkscrew-haired, bright-eyed and dirty-mouthed. She sounds like the raspy, cheeky cousin of Karen O and Amy Winehouse. Her band, Oddyssey, are a delicious, dangerous collection of art-punks who plan to re-write the rules of pop for the 21st century. Rosie demands nothing less.
Kino London's Open-mic film night returns Wednesday November 18th to our new home at Vibe Live, Brick Lane.
Plenty of fun was had at our October screening, Kino #10. Angrydan (pictured) brought his beatboxxing, synthy sampled beats and live guitar down and played us into the second half, and did the right thing by bringing a short film too, so he fitted in a treat.
Very, very excited to announce that ANGRYDAN will be playing for your enjoyment at Kino #10.
We're gearing up for our next open-mic film night at Vibe Live, Brick Lane, on Wednesday 21st October. As always, if you want to screen your short, drop us a line at screen@kinolondon.com to get your name on the list. We won't ask to see your film in advance, only that it abides by our very simple screening rules:
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?
And a good night it was. A brilliant turnout - standing room only before we'd even started. And a really good bunch of shorts, across the genres. We had fiction, documentary, animation and stuff shot on good old celluloid. Super 8 is as alive as ever! A top mix of Kino virgins and Kino veterans. There was a such a nice buzz in the room that we were all a little overwhelmed with how much fun it was. As someone commented after we watched Ed Wiles' film 'Yellow Ribbon', there was a lot of people who believed in love there last night.
At Kino we try to bring you a live act every month that's truly exciting/moving/funny/sexy (delete as appropriate but to include as many as possible). This month's performer is yet another Londoner with bags of talent and more sexy soul than you can shake a stick at.
