Kino Kabaret - calling all filmmakers!
June 17th 2008 03:26
I just got a telegram from Matt Riviera, express from the mucky shores of the Georges River.
"Kino Kabaret STOP July 14 - 19 STOP Filmmakers wanted to produce highly original shorts on low budgets STOP Parties after STOP Your presence requested STOP Will provide ether STOP"
Ah... I stroked my chin with devilish anticipation. The Kino Sydney group was putting together a week-long extravaganza to celebrate the height of winter, with three different screenings and a host of underground parties to infiltrate and recklessly load up on gin. It was the nutrients from the juniper berries that protected filmmakers and critics from developing painful abscesses on their brains, which is why the gin always runs out first.
Matt had sent me urgent correspondence before, but nothing with the sheer full-bladder ferocity of this summons, suggesting that the event had already spun out of control. Kino Sydney events were already well known around the city, for the hordes of regulars dropping from the rafters, bringing home cooked casseroles and moonshine. As for the ether? Well, I don't have to tell you that "I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon".
Kino Sydney is calling on all aspiring filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors to register for the event and make a short film within 48 hours. It's going to be manic, with a touch of panic.
From July 14-19, Kino Kabaret UK will pair four British directors with aspiring filmmakers to get out and do their thing. This is a great opportunity for you to dip your big, gnarled toe into the pond of cinematic ducklings, to see your name etched in silver on the big disco lights, to feel the groping hands of addled groupies, desperate for a shred of history. Step up and get it on the good foot.
