Kino Climates

Kino Climates is a network of independent European cinemas. Founded in 2010 at the Rotterdam Film Festival, in an initiative that included Nova, the network seeks to promote total freedom of programming and to reflect the diversity of film culture. The goal is to generate new ways of working, while remaining in touch with our legacy. For 5 years, these living cinemas collaborate and share information about film, advice, artists exchanges, and meet once a year (in Nova almost three years ago).
The small tour of the film of Cube, "The Film That Buys the Cinema," has given us the desire to build a programming weekend around its arrival, inviting members of the "Filmclub 813" from Cologne to show their films, and a programmer from the "Academic Film Center" in Belgrade, who will come with archives under their arm. Given that this network is not made up of old fogies, we have put together a musical evening with them, dancing and festive for a delightful informal meeting!

Nova has a cousin in Bristol: "The Cube", founded in 1998! The links between the two places have been established for many years. The Cube is a beautiful wooden room, with a bar and a friendly and multifunctional space, with undeniable charm. A group of volunteers, which regenerates periodically, sometimes in their activities, leans close to those of Nova: an Open Screen (they call Blue Screen), concerts, performances, but also and above all very British features: a house band, a skateboarding team, a good selection of whiskeys and many other strange things.

Chris and Hoggie, volunteers and founders of the place, will present their film.

The Cine Club Academic was founded in 1958 and in 1976 became the Academic Film Center, in the Cultural Center of the Serbian student campus in Novi Beograd. Many people are involved in this vestige of communism and in continuing the work begun around cinema, music and theater. Instead of living in the campus, it organises festivals (Balkanima among others) and summer outdoor screenings in a "vintage" location. The Alternative Film Archives preserves and distributes these milestones in the history of Serbian experimental cinema.

Milan Milosavljevic is coming from Belgrade to offer us two beautiful compilations of shorts.

This is the story of amateur filmmakers and nutters who, seeking a way to see movies, came together and discussed in disreputable bars in Cologne (from which they derive much of their inspiration) and then founded the Filmclub 813 in 1990.
Later, they integrated a huge movie theater, former property of the British Embassy. Since, they plan repertory films (no Cinematheque in Cologne!) or odd pearls that make moviegoers’ mouths water all over Germany. Everyone in Cologne does not see this group in a favorable light, lets hope it can continue....
