Sunbeam (dir. Paul Vester)

KINO10 — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 23:21:12 +0000

It’s been a little while since I posted a film (mainly due to the imminent Flatpack Festival, for which I am the Programme Co-ordinator), but when I saw this ray of sunshine, made between 1976 and 1980, it had to go on the blog. Hope it brings you a little warmth and puts a smile on your face.

KINO 10: Latin Waves

KINO10 — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 14:17:04 +0000

In aid of the charity, La Casa del Encuentro, as part of Warwick SU’s International Women’s Week, we’ll be taking a rare trip to Warwick to present a selection of shorts with a Latin American vibe. Featuring films from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia and mixing animation, live-action drama, and documentary, this is a unique chance to see a varied programme of South American filmmaking. Highlights include the multi-award winning animated gem, Luminaris which tells the tale of two co-workers in a light bulb factory who manage to find love in the unlikeliest of places, and Aly Muritiba’s The Factory which takes us to a Brazilian prison where a mother visits her son, but things aren’t always as they appear. There’ll also be an opportunity to don a pair of oldskool 3D glasses, as the Columbian short, Moving Still takes us on a trip through a metropolis where the buildings appear to crumble all around us!

Entry will cost £3, 100% of which will go towards helping victims of domestic abuse in Buenos Aires. La Casa Del Encuentro is an NGO founded in 2003 committed to fighting gender violence, prostitution and the human trade. We are delighted to be supporting this worthy cause.

Screen Scandinavia

KINO10 — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:49:24 +0000

We’re back at the Barber on Tuesday 6 November with a selection of shorts from Scandinavia. It has to be said, this is our favourite programme we’ve put together for the Barber, with highlights that include:

Incident by a Bank
(dir. Ruben Östlund) Sweden, 2010 – 10min
A detailed and humorous account of a failed bank robbery: A single take where roughly 100 people meticulously recreate an actual event that took place in Stockholm in June 2006.
Winner of the Golden Bear at The Berlinale.

Tord & Tord
(dir. Niki Lindroth Von Bahr ) Sweden, 2010 – 11min
Tord accidentally walks into the apartment next to his and discovers that Tord lives there, too. An adorable, animated, post-modern fable.

The Last Norwegian Troll
(dir. Pjotr Sapegin) Norway/Sweden, 2010 – 12min
Three young goats decide to get rid of an old Troll who lives under a bridge. Little do they know that he is the last survivor of his species, the very last Troll of Norway…

Las Palmas

The film with everyone’s favourite drunken baby.

Surpriseville (dir. Tim Travers Hawkins)

KINO10 — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:41:07 +0000

With our best of Sheffield Doc/Fest 2012 screening coming up this Sunday (4 Nov – see ‘Events’), I thought I’d post one of my favourite shorts from a couple of years ago. A place that I hope I’ll never want to live.

KINO 10 presents The Best of Sheffield Doc/Fest 2012

KINO10 — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:41:06 +0000

For our next London screening at The Roxy Bar and Screen, we’ve invited the UK’s premier documentary festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest to curate a selection of the best short films from this year’s festival in June. Highlights include The Globe Collector, the story of Andrew Pullen who owns one of the largest private collections of light bulbs in the world, Where is my Mind, which documents 42-year-od Lee Gilliland’s fight to choose where he lives after being classed as “lacking mental capacity”, and Blames and
Flames, a reflective essay that revisits the eve of Iran’s Islamic Revolution where more than 130 cinemas burned down.

The evening will be broken up into three sections with breaks in between.

The Dead Fronts – Killer Bee (dir. Tom Senior)

KINO10 — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:29:46 +0000

I came across Tom Senior‘s work when I saw the brilliant ‘One Nice Family Photo’ a few years ago. It’s no surprise that he’s a graduate of the UK’s leading animation course at the RCA. Here’s his first foray into music videos, and if this is anything to go by, I suspect we’ll be seeing more promos very soon. Top tune from The Dead Fronts too!
