Was ist ein KinoKabaret?

Ein KinoKabaret ist ein Ort an dem Kino- und Filmenthusiasten jeden Alters und Erfahrungslevels zueinander finden, um gemeinsam ihre Ideen auszutauschen und zu realisieren. Innerhalb von 48 Std. entsteht ein Script, es wird gedreht und geschnitten und zum guten Schluss werden die Ergebnisse gemeinsam auf der großen Leinwand angesehen. Dieses Jahr findet das Bielefelder Kinokabaret BieKino im Kulturhaus Ostblock statt.

What is a KinoKabaret?

A KinoKabaret is a place where film enthusiasts of every age and level of experience can meet, exchange ideas and bring them to life. Within 48 hours a script is created, shot and edited and finally the results are watched together on the big screen. This year the Bielefeld KinoKabaret BieKino will take place in the Kulturhaus Ostblock

Wie funktioniert ein KinoKabaret?

Nach einer allgemeinen Vorstellrunde präsentieren die Teilnehmer*innen bei einem sogenannten „Production Meeting“ ihre Ideen für Kurzfilme und bilden Teams, um diese zu realisieren. Doch lange darf nicht gezögert werden, denn die Zeit läuft: nach 48 Std. versammeln sich alle vor der großen Leinwand um gemeinsam das Geschaffene anzusehen. Alt und jung, Anfänger*innen und Profis, alle sind willkommen und können etwas beitragen, ausprobieren und umsetzen.

How does a KinoKabaret work?

After a short introduction, the participants present their short film ideas in a production meeting and form teams to bring them to life. But there is no time to hesitate, because time is running out: after only 48 hours everyone gathers in front of the big screen to watch what they have created together. Old and young, beginners and professionals, all are welcome and can contribute, try out, implement something.

Wo und Wann?

First of all

Be nice and kind to all people and treat each other with respect, openness and helpfulness.
A Kinokabaret thrives on everyone seeing themselves as part of a community that supports each other. A Kino is not a competition, but a safe place for everyone to share their love of cinema and filmmaking

SAFER SPACE

Our Films:

We have only one rule of thumb:
We do not make films that have a hateful, such as sexist, racist, gay- or transphobic message.
We’re looking forward to seeing films with diverse subject matters – but please take a minute to consider if you might be reinforcing harmful stereotypes, e.g. when telling a story about marginalized people.

Our Guidelines:

Let’s be conscious about our privileges and give space to everyone
One secret of Kino is creating a non-hierarchical space where everyone can bloom. There are many kinds of privileges; e.g. differences in gender, race, ethnicity, disability and mental health status, class, education and language.
Especially in Kinos, technical skills, experience and social connections matter a lot too. If you find yourself in a privileged position in some way, be considerate, share what you can and lift others up as much as you can!

Don’t make assumptions about people – let everyone define themselves.
Don’t make assumptions or comments about gender, sexuality, culture, race, age, disability status, body type etc. People will share of themselves what they want to; stick to that. Everyone has a right to be gendered – or not gendered – by their own standards and be addressed with their pronouns of choice.
The Kino is a busy environment with a lot of people though, and people might make mistakes. If you make a mistake, take notice and pay attention to correcting yourself the next time. If someone makes a mistake with you, we hope you are patient enough to tell them where they went wrong.
Don’t assign people roles they didn’t ask for, and don’t assume people have a certain skill set if they didn’t claim they had one. 
Communication goes a long way here – as it does with everything!

Respect everyone’s boundaries – both physical and emotional.
The only way to know someone’s boundaries is to ask!
If you are leading a project, make sure everyone who joins your project knows what they consent to, and then negotiate the consent every time something new or different comes along. Keep everyone up to date, and make sure they are comfortable with what happens and is expected of them.
For a person entering a project: if you are not sure what it involves, ask. If you feel uncomfortable or are unsure about something that you are expected to do, say it. And if you still find yourself facing demands that make you feel bad and communication doesn’t help, you can say no at any point and quit the project.

If you need any help, if you have questions, or need support in a problematic situation, do not hesitate to ask the organizers.
If there’s a problematic situation, it is good to say it aloud. The second thing is to get one of the organizers to go through it with you, and help with the situation if needed. The sooner you contact the organizers, the more quickly they can offer support and help with resolving the situation. Also, if something feels a bit awkward but you don’t quite know what it is, it might be a good idea to sit down and chat about it with someone. Often things feel more clear afterwards.
If someone accuses you of something, we first suggest you take a deep breath and maybe a break. Don’t immediately dismiss someone making an accusation, wait for the emotions to pass and then, when your mind is clearer, think about the situation and your role in it. Remember that the organizers are here for you too, and making a mistake doesn’t mean you will be excluded or dismissed. Let’s go through it together!
Only when someone repeatedly and intentionally breaks these rules and the problematic situations continue to occur despite common efforts to solve them, will the person in question be asked to leave the workshop.
