Kino Sydney

Kino nights take place monthly in Sydney since November 2006. Participants make short videos specifically for Kino, then present the work to a sold-out audience. Each film is therefore a world premiere! The event includes music, live performances, giveaways, an open bar and buffet.

Kino encourages participants to learn about the craft of filmmaking by going out there and making films, unshackled by the burden of resources, time and money. Kino Sydney provides filmmakers of all skillset, background and experience with a support network to write, shoot and edit their projects as well as an opportunity to show the work to a large audience.

Kino is a place to network, meet cast and crew and enjoy great films. Everyone is encouraged to participate and given the means to do so, effectively blurring the boundaries between film makers and film watchers. Kino Sydney is a non-competitive, inclusive and accessible series of events which attracts close to 3,000 participants each year.

Kino Sydney is part of an international network born in Montréal in 1999. It is now a global movement, with cells in Canada, the US, France, Germany, the UK, South Africa and now Australia.
