KINO SYDNEY #3: DEBRIEF
Tuesday March 27th 2007 - 6:30pm
Could Kino be the victim of its own success? Audiences doubled for our second night at the lovely Chalkhorse gallery, with 70 film buffs joshing for position in our cosy screening space. It was great to see so many familiar faces, and thrilling to meet a whole new batch of Kinoites.
A few filmmakers premiered brand new films finished just in time for Kino #3. Frances Anderson followed up Kino #2's In Africa (which was recently selected for the St Kilda Short Film Festival following its world premiere at Kino) with the abstract horror of Hotel. David Gacs gave the experimental animation Hegemons, while Minto Macpherson presented his first ever Kino film, the animated Technik.
We screened recently completed films from Shane K. (H.R. Pufnsnuf and Sky High), Garnet Mae (Kung Fu Shuffle) and JackFeldstein (The Great Oz Love Yarn).
Finally we showed two films made at other Kino chapters worldwide. From Kino Montreal we had Stéphane Lafleur's Inventaire (Inventary) and from Kino Adelaide we screened Dave Wade's Detached.

In between films, there was a lot of networking going on, and a few projects for Kino #4 were being discussed around the room and outside on the sidewalk. The open bar served red wine, white wine, beer and soft drinks until stocks ran out, while our sushi and homemade cakes buffet proved v. popular. A big thanks to the people at Chalkhorse for the friendly venue!
