Kino Christmas Party + Short Film Open Mic

Our final Kino event of 2026! We’re celebrating a landmark year for the Kino community where our BIFA qualifying Kino London Short Film Festival doubled in size from our inaugural year, we ran two film funds, and hosted 12 Short Film Open Mic’s including hitting our landmark 150th.

**6:00 - Doors Open**

**6:30 - Short Film Open Mic (One Act)**

Our typical monthly Short Film Open Mic format, except space is limited as we’re hosting this as a one act to give us more time to party & network. Scroll down for more details about how to register to screen your short for free.

**7:30 - Kino Christmas Party**

Mingle with filmmakers and film lovers of all levels and backgrounds - writers, directors, producers, actors, cinematographers, editors, & more. All welcome! Catch up with familiar faces from other Kino events throughout the year & make new friends with likeminded creatives.

**Short Film Open Mic Info:**

Whether you’re looking for a chance to screen your short film in front of a live audience for free OR you’re looking to watch something wild, wacky, and creative outside of the mainstream, our open mic is refreshingly non-competitive in an all-too-oftentimes intimidating industry.
