About Kino05:
Inspired by the Kino motto: "Do well with nothing, do better with little and do it now!" the femmes of Kino05 have decided to do better for videomakers-and to do it right now, by relaunching the Toronto cell of the international Kino movement.

Anyone, no matter their experience level, can submit work to any of our screenings. Submissions are divided into two sections: a fierce and focused grouping of work and the thrillingly risky free-screen where anything—well, almost anything—goes. On our free-screen we're looking to open up a space for strange and sublime experiments, accidents and work-in-progress.

Friend or Foe?

This has absolutely nothing to do with Kino05 or video in any way-- but when I saw it I laughed out loud:

15 Glorious Seconds

For a little while now I've been working on a series of videos starring, CockNose, a character I created based on a fucked up halloween costume I got from a 7-11. These videos have been pretty campy, sometimes a little gory and always feature the lowest production quality ever. I've never been sure where to locate the aesthetics of these little videos. I always hoped they at least nodded (admittedly, from far far away) to Colin Campbell and Jack Smith--but, recently I think I finally came across a more likely influence: The Great Kat!


For example, let's look at The Great Kat's "Paganini's Caprice #24" and the beginning of "Nobody Nose the Trouble I've Seen":





See what I mean?


But the Great Kat is not only about fire, blood and monster shredding-- she's also got some political opinions (many of which may be quite suspect...). Despite this, I've really been inspired by this work, and I think that I'd like to steer the CockNose series in this direction.

I'm still working on my latest Great Kat inspired video, so I'll leave you with 15 glorious seconds of her 'political' work. Enjoy!

i just ate an entire package of bacon

so i saw this new video by mgmt and i thought that it was visually neat. kinda like this neo-pagan trip. i'm totally all for it! and i wish that i could afford to live such a fabulously derelict lifestyle but i'm not an american university student with hundreds of thousands to blow on models, travel, blow and bernhard wilhelm outfits! oh, the dream .... instead i wait. i'm waiting for this stripper to get to my house already. i wait for emails to be replied so i can feel like i've done something with my seemingly useless day. i wait for my arteries to congeal cause i know deep down in my clogged heart that consuming a whole package of bacon along with the rice that i fried in it's drippins, is not good for my health. 

waiting isn't either!

it's like 'trapped in the closet' ... you wait and wait 

like some sufferable longing, pulling at your short hairs. 

it's so ridiculous and necessary
