KINO is a film society based atop Maker Heights, screening films within the community’s own Patchwork Studios venue. Each year, we share a broad range of exciting films, focussing on releases that represent provoking and impressive accomplishments (as well as cult fandom) from all over the world. We set out to support the culture of cinema within our community, seeing a value in the shared experience of watching and discussing films in-person.

Ohayô (dir. Yasujiro Ozu, 1959)
Two rambunctious boys living in a Tokyo suburb are determined to have a television so that they can watch wrestling and baseball. Their father, who predicts that “TV will produce 100 million idiots,” refuses, and when told to shut up, the boys take the command literally and zip their lips—forever.
Good Morning (known as Ohayô in Japan), Ozu's 50th film and second in color, has much of the same visual style of his earlier films - the low-angle "tatami shots," the cuts instead of dissolves, the static, immobile camera - but this time, the humor is more boisterous.

Between April and October, camping is available separately via Maker Camp website. Our Tavern within the venue is open until late, dishing out all the finest local tipples to keep you hydrated, plus Garrison Gallery are often serving up a storm of cocktails within their magical art-adorned walls next door. During the camping season, Oscallys Food Wagon cook up top homemade scran to keep your bellies full until 9pm over by the campsite entrance, and The Canteen opens at 9:30am for coffee and breakfast all year round, bar January. See you up the hill!
