The Filmonik Melbourne Kino-Kabaret is a 72h session of creative, spontaneous, collaborative film-making in a fun, shared production environment called the Kinolab. Held at  Kindred Studios in Yarraville, it will bring together filmmakers, actors, musicians, writers, technicians and film aficionados.

In this Kinolab you will be called upon to make or participate in the making of one, or more, 5 minute or less, short films in one 72-hour session with all the other participants. The Filmonik Kabaret filmmaking session will immediately culminate with a public screening of the produced short films. Exceptionally this year the Kabaret is part of the 10th Setting Sun Film Festival, offering a full range of short film screenings from May 11-21 at the Kindred Bandroom and at Yarra Sun Theatre. The Filmonik Kabaret will run in parallel May 12-15 to truly solidify Yarraville into filmmaker central and premiere the freshest batch of films the festival will have ever seen.
