Kino Mode

I’d like to organize a Festival of Home Movies! It could be wonderful — thousands of the things… You might find an odd genius, a Fellini or Godard of the home movie, living in some suburb. I’m sure it’s coming… Using modern electronics, home movie cameras and the like, one will begin to retreat into one’s own imagination. I welcome that…
JG Ballard

I don't have a camera phone, but the Festival of Ballardian Home Movies seems worth borrowing one for - it's about time someone started using the peculiar forms of the cameraphone to aesthetic purposes. I particularly appreciate the 'edited in camera' clause, a very 1968 cine-tract idea...



In addition, may I remind anyone in London or anyone intrepid that Kino Fist is returning this Sunday at the E:vent Gallery, at 96 Teesdale Street, Bethnal Green London E2 6PU, on the theme of Film & Fashion. The usual - 2pm, 2 quid, nibbles and booze and smoking, with a free zine and the following features: Slava Tsukerman's Liquid Sky with support from Chuck Jones' Hare Conditioned, and the video to Bowie's 'Fashion'. Come along, if you know what's good for you.
