Born in Montreal, Kino began as what founder Christian Laurence called a “jam session for filmmakers.” He challenged his friends to make one new short film per month, every month throughout 1999. But when the year 2000 came, they didn't want to stop. By 2002, a new venue was required because more than 400 people were showing up each month to see the films. Soon the concept became an international movement, and new Kino cells continue to spring up in cities around the world. 1999: Montreal 2002: Paris; Hamburg; Madison, WI 2004: Lausanne; Toronto; Berlin; Vienna 2005: Adelaide; Lyon; Bordeaux; Louisville, KY 2006: Sydney; Toulouse 2007: Montpellier 2008: Barcelona; Ougadougu (Burkina-Faso); Mainz; Dresden 2009: London; Majunga (Madagascar); Bratislava; Zagreb; Whitehorse, Yukon 2010: Casablanca; Helsinki; Managua (Nicaragua); Amsterdam 2011: Marseille; Brussels; *MILWAUKEE!! Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN) is now sponsoring a Kino microcinema in Milwaukee. Screenings are held on the third Thursdays of each month at the Times Cinema on 60th & Vliet. The Spirit of Kino* Kino is about more than providing a monthly venue for filmmakers to screen short films, or providing a unique local indie microcinema for film goers. It's about creative freedom and collaboration, and about a collective of artists producing new films with little or no means. Kino cells are laboratories for artistic experimentation and development, and for creating and showing films without constraints. Monthly screenings motivate the artists, and act as a catalyst to inspire new work. * Kino Kabarets* Kino cells typically hold an annual Kabaret, or 48-hour filmmaking event. During these events, participating filmmakers receive a theme, and have 48 hours to complete and turn in a new short film that incorporates the theme. The event ends with a screening of the films and closing party. -- Melissa Musante Executive Director Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN) 414.732.2121 office 414.305.2109 mobile |
