VASTARANNAN KINO IS BACK AFTER SIX YEARS WITH THE SIXTH EDITION!

A long time ago in Rovaniemi far, far away in the Arctic circle, there was Vastarannan kino. It meant joy, laughter, enthusiastic filmmakers, ideas out of this world, sleepless nights, sweat, tears and blood, and most importantly the-one-and-only: Rubber Duck. But then a ripple in the space time continuum shook the realm of Vastarannan kino and the organisers were lost in a time loop for almost six years. We’re happy to say that they’ve fought their way back to present day and it’s time for another round of Kino.

We’re proud to announce that the new Vastarannan Kino is rising and we’re open for applications!

It will take place in Rovaniemi 22.-25.2.2024.

Remember this name: Post-Apocalyptic Valentine Polar Night edition.

Applications form can already be filled via this link: https://forms.gle/hkwE7sEe4rKVobDj9

You can find more info in the application form and you can send us an email for further details: kinorovaniem at gmail.com.

HELSINKI INTERNATIONAL KINO KABARET // KINO EUPHORIA 9.-18.7.

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

Are you interested in making short films but have never made any? Are you a filmmaker who wants to try out something you’ve never done before? Are you up for breaking old hierarchies in filmmaking and create something new in an inclusive environment?

Join us for 10 days of crazy spontaneous wonderful filmmaking shenanigans <3

What is Kino Kabaret?

Kino Kabaret is a short film workshop where anybody can do anything they want. No previous experience in filmmaking is needed. We get together, present our ideas and start making films! Two days later, the films will premiere in a local cinema. We don’t have a shiny budget but we have each other to create something amazing.

Our Kino Lab this year is a secluded location in Eastern Helsinki called Meriharju. It’s an old mansion in the middle of a forest and by the seaside. Due to this special location we have the heartbreaking task of selecting 75 participants for this kino. We’re not looking for amazing portfolios, but people who will help make this an enjoyable and inspiring experience for all <3

ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS WILL BE READ AND CONSIDERED ANONYMOUSLY 🙂

Our application period is 25.2.-8.4. and the selections will be announced by 19.4.

We work in three sessions. The participation fee for each session is 12 euros for members of Euphoria Borealis ry, and 16 euros for non-members. There will be a vegan meal served every day, as well as snacks and coffee.

At all Euphoria Borealis events we practice a safer space policy.
