Kino is a film making movement that advocates the production of short-films on little to no budget, using small crews, and non-competitive collaboration. There are Kino Groups around the world. Kino Auroville is the only one in India. We invite anyone who has made a film in the last month, between 30 seconds and 6 minutes to come and screen it. We meet every first Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. at the MMC/CP (MultiMedia Center / Cinema Paradiso) at the Town Hall. Some of the films made can be found at this link: https://vimeo.com/groups/kinoaurovillemonthly
