Kino Kabaret September 2025

Experience Kino Kabaret!

It’s intense. It’s fun. And it’s the best way to dive into short filmmaking.

WHAT IS KABARET?

The aim of Kabaret is to make as many short films as possible in 48 hours. It is an annual event undertaken by most Kino chapters worldwide. Whether you are a novice or a professional, there is something for everyone at a Kabaret.

There’s no theme, you simply make what you want. You can make short films, comedy sketches, music or dance videos, the world is your oyster.

SHOOT & EDIT

Collaborate with an array of filmmakers to bring each others ideas, skills and creativity to light.

With access to a soundproof studio and textured spaces, with sets and props, you can create as many wild, wacky, dramatic, scary or joyful films. Access to these spaces would normally cost thousands of dollars, but buy purchasing a very reasonably priced ticket along with other filmmakers, it makes it possible for us creatives to experience the space that’s affordable to everyone, as well as getting the opportunity to make anything you want.
