kino loves object.

S is for Spots from Lilith Edana on Vimeo.

One week ago was Kino #39 a special Kino Loves Object event, held at Object Gallery. It was a design themed Kino, corresponding with an exhibition @ Object dealing with typography, motion, art and design and in a building extremely interesting itself, design wise- big shiny white walls, a ship like beam filled roof and a sort of circular shaped floor. Pulling an eclectic crowd, not unusual for Kino, except this time, a little closer to Oxford Street and a little more artsy (held in an art gallery afterall!), there were definitely some new faces and hopefully Kino recruits.

The lovely Rosie, treated us to some pre-ep songs, ever graceful and almost cinematically capturing. An onslaught of design themed films screened on the night to our delight.

Above you can see our (Alexander Ps and mine) contribution to Alphabetography, a collective challenge where filmmakers choose a letter each and make a 10 second clip representing the letter and a corresponding word using motion and typography. Resulting in an A- Z of letter inspired stop motions, animations and creative films made collaboratively in the Kino spirit! Obviously we chose S is for Spots...

Alex and I brought along KSZ#3, the kino sydney official rag, hand sprayed front covers and filled with juicy bits and pieces from Kino-ites for Kino-ites.

You can see two of Victoria Waghorn's pieces (who deserves a special mention for helping us put this one together on a rather tight schedule) ConFiction: the cat with two bowls and Is Jack Feldstein ET? on her blog. Dan Simmonds also reviewed Kino Sydney's new official beer Beard and Brau: Golden Paw on his charming blog for your free readership.

Otherwise you missed out on the top secret recipe for Ang's buttermenthol cookies (tried and tested at Kino, and Ohhh myyy lordddyy!!!) new feature: Sprocket love with romance tips such as: "If she's not in the mood for lovemaking, simply weep. This shows her you are a sensitive man and ready for your love", Puzzles, Plots and Funk- a code to crack and artwork by Liam O'shea, Snoodie's Wacky World of Wills and Burke (returning feature:For the Love of VHS) and the ever hilarious The Owls Are Not What They Seem- Laura Palmer's Psychic Insights (which if you are good little boys and girls will be making an appearance in blogworld because it was a little hard to see in the final print). Plus reviews, upcoming events, kino news and hilarious tidbits.

Kino Sydney Zine (KSZ) is by Kino-ites for Kino-ites so if you'd like to submit anything at all Kino or otherwise related that you'd like to share with your pals please let us know. We'd love to hear from you on how we could improve the zine. We are considering making an online issue/blog but are very time poor- if anyone would like to come forward to help us in compiling the zine online or offline we'd greatly appreciate it (we aren't professional designers/editors etc and need all the help we can get!).

Watch out for issue #4! and submit now!
