Lomography!

Didn't get the chance to check out those super cool cameras at Monday's Kino?

Lomography will be supplying Kino Kabaret 2012 with 5 cameras for those interested in rebelling against traditional filmmaking and crafting a truely unique film. Simply spinning a winding crank will capture images on 35mm film, which can then be digitised into your own LomoMovie. Crank slow for a stop-motion effect, or faster for your film to resemble a flip-book, either way, Lomography allows any filmmaker the opporutinty to create a fascinatingly original film in their own style!

Lomography cameras are for anyone, of any experience, with any style, offering the chance to illustrate in an entirely new perspective.
