KinoBerlino hosts the largest international KinoKabaret in Europe in 2014. We have become very popular in the independent short film scene and thank all previous participants, team members and supporters for their work and energy.
Artists from over 20 countries made more than 1000 short films at our events. Several kinoites qualified for elite film schools, created commercial production companies, improved their skills in acting, editing, filming, or composing. KinoBerlino has seeded or inspired new kino cells in many European cities. Our films are broadcast and some have been selected for other international film festivals.
Both the cinema Moviemento and the production venue (KinoLab at youth club ELOK) have a limited capacity. To respect this fact and the nerves of our organization team members, we will limit the number of participants to 160 this year by closing the application form earlier.

Some additional guidelines:

1. We will limit the number of films per round by raising their quality. To avoid extremely long and tiring screenings, we decided that each director may create one film at our event plus a quickie. The maximum running time will be 7 minutes. This way we inspire collaboration and bigger teams, because the directors who are not busy will assist other filmmakers and share their wisdom and skills. Friendships evolve through the spirit of collaboration. We believe that a director should learn to make one film that is important instead of several meaningless videos.

2. Directors are advised to upload their film script or synopsis with the application form as pdf. Spontaneous movies (i.e. "quickies") are still possible, because they belong to the KinoKabaret philosophy. Yet we believe that a good director should know what she or he wants. So a plan (script or synopsis, shot list, storyboard, approximate cast and crew list, realistic locations and equipment plans, props and make-up ideas) is the minimum that we expect the directors to provide for their teams. Premeditation becomes bliss for your audience. There is no competition involved, nor do we give awards.

3. Nobody sleeps in the kinolab. Due to sanitary reasons and several cases of misconduct by over-zealous individuals in the last years, KinoBerlino decided to stop hosting participants at our event venue. There will be no sleeping room and no camping! We extended the productions rounds by one day so everyone has a chance to sleep at their Berlin accommodation (host, hotel, couchsurfing, etc.).

4. Berlin participants are highly advised to host foreign guests. The guests will behave decently. While we cannot force Berlin residents to become hosts, we will ask them for specific reasons, if they refuse to host a guest. Since the number of KinoKabaret participants is limited, we need criteria for our registration. Kino is about SHARING space, time, talent, skills, and enthusiasm.

5. Party after each screening. To vent your energy after the film premieres, we try to organize a party location at a bar close to the cinema. So you can celebrate your work, plan the next film, flirt, dance, and listen to our DJ. Keep in mind that a hangover obstructs your creativity!

6. Skill building workshops. KinoKabarets are filmmaking laboratories. So we will offer several workshops, depending on the availability of tutors. These lessons will focus on steadycam work, basic video editing on Linux, introductions to animation with Blender, acting preparations, short film creation and festival distribution.

7. Barbecue day in the middle. To regain energy, we have inserted a day for relaxation after round one. So the second production meeting will start in the evening of that day.

8. Great film equipment. Depending on the availability of new sponsors, we endeavour to get high quality cameras, lenses, lights, sound equipment and rigs.

9. Talent pool. There are always enough directors and actors at our events. To reach out, we encourage every filmmaker to invite gifted and mature camera operators, focus pullers, gaffers, editors, writers, make-up artists, designers, prop-makers, musicians, sound experts, assistant directors, production managers, and multi-talents. A contact list will be provided for all participants after the event, so you can continue to collaborate and grow artistically.
____________________________________

Kino encourages participants to learn about the craft of filmmaking by making films, unshackled by the burden of resources, time and money. Kino provides filmmakers of all skillset, background, ability and experience with a support network to write, shoot and edit their projects as well as an opportunity to show the work to a large audience. Founded in Montreal twelve years ago, the movement has spawned cells in cities around the globe. The week-long filmmaking experiment will pair veterans with newbie filmmakers, actors and crew members (absolute beginners or industry professionals). More experienced kinoïtes will mentor teams and infuse the workshop with their own unique perspectives, skills and culture. Participants will team up to write, shoot and edit short films during 3 days of each round, at the end of which the resulting work will be screened to a cinema audience. The  screening might be followed by a party in honor of the participants and organizers. The films are broadcast & maybe uploaded.

AN INCLUSIVE AND ACCESSIBLE PROJECT
Participants will meet and edit in the KINO LAB, situated at ELOK, Laskerstrasse 6 - 8, Berlin Friedrichshain, S Ostkreuz. The KINO LAB will be fitted with a little bit of filmmaking and sound recording equipment. Editors should bring their laptops. The KinoKabaret is a non-competitive, collaborative project: participants with experience will assist those who need it. Sharing equipment, lodging and skills is the backbone of this workshop. Please carefully read the GUIDE TO THE KINOKABARET (explanation, procedure, technical information) and the RULES (code of conduct, safety, insurance, broadcast agreement). With your registration and signature you accept them and promise not to question or discuss them. Please be punctual for the production meetings! Please label all your equipment with your name. There will be a lot of equipment all over the place!
What makes KinoKabarets special is its mix of participants: Amateurs mix with more experienced people, artists mix with technicians, locals mix with international participants, and people of all abilities learn from one another. The concept is successful and a lot of fun precisely because it is inclusive and non-judgmental. As we endeavor to make the KinoKabaret an accessible event, the KINO LAB will be made accessible for people with a disability. We have a ramp.

APPLICATION PROCESS
The KinoKabaret is open to participants 18 years of age and over, of all backgrounds, abilities, skills and experience. Participants will accepted regardless of skills or previous experience. We strive for realistic integration within the filmmaking teams as determined by available resources.
The participation fee is 20 EUROs for each round, so 40 for the whole event. All registrations must be received by August 15, 2014 or earlier, if the event capacity is reached. Remember to bring enough funds for public transport, food, emergencies, props, your production.
