Filmonik Kino-Kabaret 2025 - A 72-hour filmmaking challenge

The Filmonik Kino-Kabaret is our yearly all-you-can-film buffet of spontaneous creativity, where participants collaborate on as many short films as they can, in a shared production space called the Kinolab, at Balam Balam Place in Brunswick. This 72+hour jam-session of filmmaking is followed by the premiere screening party of all short films that have been produced. It's fun, it's epic, it's chaotic, it's challenging, you meet heaps of new people and get attached on-the-spot to many productions just by hanging out in the hub. It's not a competition; it's a celebration of films of all scope. There are no teams set in advance, and no creative restrictions on the films. Writers and directors can improvise all weekend or come to the Friday production meeting with a script ready to go, but the magic should happen with the cast and crew participating and present in the hub. Short films can get written, shot and edited all in and around the hub. It's not a requirement but it's how you can learn more, challenge yourself, get help when you need it, and hop on anyone else's project to try something new.
