The Schedule

Doors open from 6.30 pm

We’ll be kicking off with introductions and the pitching session from 7.30pm. Ideas for films will be pitched to the whole group, followed by networking in the Lab. This will be a great chance to meet other film-makers, team up, brainstorm and attach yourself to the projects you are interested in. Directors can start rehearsing with their talents, coordinating the shoot with their crew or can even start shooting straight away.

Saturday March 20th

Saturday will be a shoot day. Lab will be open 10am till late.

Sunday March 21st

Sunday is editing day, deadline for films will be 5pm. The Screening is at 6:30pm.

Guidelines

Resources - We strongly advise screenwriters and directors to consider your resources and time constraints. Firstly, we have put a lot of effort into getting a Mullingar Lab venue - use it! Explore the town and shoot Mullingar. Work fast, Kino is a non-competitive guerilla filmmaking challenge, so experiment, push yourself and make something great!

Quickies™ - Pitching a project is great, finishing a film project is a miracle - but if the neurons are still firing and you just can’t stop then go for it and make a quickie. Quickies are usually 30 seconds to 1 minute long (no more than a minute) and tend to be the most bat-sh*t insane ideas ever put to screen. We like bat-sh*t insanity at KinoD and will screen all quickies. So show us what you got!

Editing Specifications - Go ahead and shoot 4k you absolute masochist, but all exports must be in no higher spec than H.264 20mbps FHD 1920x1080p or the HD equivalent of any aspect ratio (eg. 1:1 or square equates to 1080x1080p). We will only screen mp4 files, no DCPs or 4K files.

Housekeeping - Please respect the spaces provided and clean up when finishing shooting or after eating and drinking. KinoD is run by volunteers, there will always be a member on site so we will do our best to accommodate every query and help get your projects finished.
