The Kino movement was born in Montreal in the late 1990s and exploded all around the world, giving birth to ‘Cells’ that provide both amateur and professional film makers alike a place to create and screen short films.
Filmonik, Manchester’s own Kino Cell, are well into their summer Kabaret, using spaces all over the city to bring a diverse community of filmmakers, actors, musicians and graphic designers together to make films in a mind-set of spontaneity and collaboration.
The lab space at Filmonik HQ at Federation House will be open 24/7 for people to come along and get involved during the summer Kabaret which runs until Sunday, August 3 and climaxes with a final screening at Gorilla.
Head over to Filmonik to get involved.
