KINO SHORTS 3, WED 8th July - now booking.

KINO SHORTS 3, WED 8th July, an event as part of Manchester's "NOT PART OF FESTIVAL".

KINO is now taking reservations for the third KINO SHORTS night on Wed 8th July at the Greenroom, Whitworth Street, Manchester, M1 5WW (7.30 doors for 8.00pm start). The night will follow a similar pattern as the last one, with new short films from Regional and National filmmakers in the programme.

KINO SHORTS events’ provide a platform for recent work from talented new filmmakers and we are keen that films will maintain a certain standard and quality. The events are meant to stimulate debate and discussion, so Filmmakers attending their screening will partake in a 10 minute conversation directly after their screening. Our normal host for the Q & A’s, local media commentator and legendary punk-rocker John Robb, is not available this week, but stepping into the role will be Paul Barron, Series Producer, Channel M. As producer of the popular shorts programme ‘Reel North”, Paul has much experience of the short film world and we can expect some enticing questions.

KINO SHORTS Returns!

CALL FOR ENTRIES to KINOFILM’S New Short Film Expose in Manchester.

SHORT FILMS and INDEPENDENT FEATURES are wanted now.

On 11th ~March we relaunched ou short film nights in Manchester to take place the second Wednesday of every month, at the Green Room, Whitworth Street.

We are looking for short films from local filmmakers and those based anywhere in the North of England. The emphasis is on Quality Production and Original Ideas, films that push the boundaries of traditional film-making. Films can be short fiction, animation, experimental or documentary. Films must be no more than 20 minutes and made in the last twelve months (the more recent the better). We will also consider shorts from other parts of the UK though though screenings of shorts from outside the region will be limited to two per event. We will also consider international shorts but this will be limited to one per event.

The emphasis on the night is to encourage debate and feedback for films being made in the North and North West, and how our region’s filmmakers rate to those in other parts of the UK. Each event will also screen a UK and European Short film so that we can evaluate films in the context of European Short Film Production.

 New Kino European Short Film Festival

FIRST HERE"S THE GOOD NEWS (and yes we are shouting about it)!

Our first main Funder has come on board to support our efforts in relaunching the KINOFILM Festival. Though we've had some disappointment over the last few months, at last we have something to shout about. Good news yes, but we still have to raise two thirds of our intended budget, so there is still much hard work to do.

Shortly, we'll officially announce the return of Kino as a European Short Film Festival for Manchester in Feb 2010. As soon as we post news on this page we will also forward an email to all members, friends and supporters and also post it on our associated sites (our Facebook Kino Appreciation Society page), our Myspace page, and the official Kinofilm web site. We'll also be announcing soon an official Call for Entries - so keep checking back our page for important news.

In the meantime, do forward this link to anyone from the Northwest or across the UK and Europe who has any interest in short film and seeing the return of KINOFILM -and do extend it to your friends and colleagues around the world. Help us spread the word that Kino is making a comeback.
