Kino Montreal turns 15!
Filmonik received a telegram yesterday from Christian Laurence, It’s super cute and reminds us where we came from and how big, yet how connected the kino movement is… It went something like this:
“Hello all Kinoites of the world!
Christian Laurence here, writing from Montreal.
Some of you may know me… 15 years ago I challenged a few friends to make a film every month for a whole year… 15 years later, KINO has taken over the planet, creating a new form of cinema that is more free, more collaborative and more imaginative. And it’s because of people like you!
To celebrate our anniversary, I would like to create a short video with messages from all over Planet Kino. Just gather a few of your members and wish a “HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY KINO!” in your native language.
There’s no need for top quality. A quick message recorded on a smartphone will do. But if you feel imaginative (being kinoites, that should be a given) don’t hold out and get crazy!!!
Thank you so much! YOU are the reason Kino is still alive and thriving!
Christian Laurence”
We’re celebrating our 15th screening while the movement celebrates its 15th year… if that’s not special I don’t know what is. So make sure you come along to our 15th event ever (on October 27th at Loop) and we’ll record a message to help Montreal celebrate their fabulous 15 fucking years!
GO KINO!
