Filmonik

Are you a film maker? actor? director? editor? song writer? script writer? or you have creative bone in your body but don’t know what to do with it? Well then m’dear you need to meet these guys or attend atleast one of their awesome bootcamps and I promise it will change your life!
Filmonik is the Manchester Cell of the International Kino00 Movement. It offers an open platform for the North West’s independent filmmakers, be they Industry Professionals, self-​styled Media Guerrillas, or relative novices still finding their creative voice. Emphasising resourcefulness and raw talent over polish and high production values, Filmonik provides an open door and a warm welcome for those making films with the minimum of means. Filmonik screenings offer a genuinely censure-​free exhibition space, a level playing-​screen for beginners and more experienced filmmakers alike; a chance for experimentation and eccentricity, for unexpected collaborations and maverick creativity to find a voice and flourish. Films are not pre-​screened and selected but simply ‘booked-​in’ and presented in an open-​mic fashion.
I attended my first film bootcamp called Kabaret as a friend of mine who was visiting from Germany mentioned about this to me, as he was coming to Manchester for the same. I have to be honest initially I was not completely sure but when I went for the first screening I was bowled over by the talent there and also the quality of the films that people made. In the world of film making, Filmonik is like a parent who provides shelter, guidance and resources and you just have to make the best use of it and make the best film possible out of that! Besides that you also get hand on experience of making films and meeting people from all over Europe. I think this was one of the best experiences of my life so far and so I would highly recommend it to all art lovers!
Here is a film we made in just 2 days — yes everything right from filming to editing!

Verdict: LOVE IT!
